What is Digg?49 Comments
- p9s50W5k4GUD2c6, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27This is a great list - and quite accurate.
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2611. Remember to record the Daily Show and the Colbert Report four nights per week.
- airmann90, on 10/12/2007, -1/+203. Have an original idea no-one else would bother to do..
When you click the link, it says the video has been removed due to copyright infringement... - Robertsk8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Well you are programming yourself to make yourself on youtube, but really were else would it go? Digg needs a DIY or HOWTO category
- saska, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Boobies.
No, I do not need to RTFA. - gfixler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Seems like nothing's an original idea anymore. This guy's the winner so far - doing the face-a-day thing since '98:

And he - a purist, essentially - is idolized by this guy who's been taking the idea for awhile and adding in some stop motion animation elements, but who has also suffered two hdd crashes that lost him 3 and 2 months, respectively:

This guy did 6 months of beard growth with some stop motion effects of wiping away the beard with his hand, and drinking a different drink every day:

Then there's Tommy's Beard, which was on Digg awhile ago:

also on YouTube:

You can even watch a woman's entire 9-month pregnancy bulge before you in 20 seconds:

IMO - LegendX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Don't forget all the sexual content stuff that is close to p0rn without showing nudity. It gets on my nerves when I search around Top views and Top favorites and see a thumbnail of it all.
- TheThirdWheel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9This is accurate? I always thought ways 1-9 were "have boobs", with number 10 being "Smash your face and/or nuts while skateboarding/rollerblading".
- Clbck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6No, troll, we won't cross your bridge.
- bloqmon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I agree.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Afaik the Daily Show put up the clips themselves, and don't mind them appearing on youtube!
Hey free advertising for all! - pasteler0, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Nice link! That picture thing is quite nice. I made a stop-motion video from 3days of lan party. Remembers me something like that Japanese woman who shot her picture everyday for 3 years! If you guys wanna take a look http://www.ovelha.org/pasteler0/2006/08/10/iii-la-do-morro-lan-party-webcams-video/
=) - mooninite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Same thing is going on with Google Video.
Horny 13 year olds ftw. - revmitcz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3#10 doesn't really make them a "YouTube star". Checking the stats on any of their videos reveals about 2-5k views per video. That's hardly "star" status. But, I understand their desire to plug their own wares, so I guess it's fair.
That having been said, I simply hopped onto the wave of a rising internet phenom mere days after it started up and made a video related to it which has almost 2Mil views now. I would consider that pretty good advice for becoming a YT Star. - Robertsk8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Where so?
- liz2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55YYaJIrmzo
- SystemRocks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's pretty good i have been thinking of doing that.
Ya i agree also digg is missing a few more categories still. - punkrockxtian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Apparently the video of the woman's stop motion video has been removed because of copyright infringement ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLHdwddwRdE )
Anybody got a good link? - akinder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2She is the most untalented hack ever, I can't believe she's so popular on there.
- remo2012, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24FhTl_f9Vg
I'm a Nerd in a Stormtrooper armor.
Nuff said!!!!
The Internet Legend.
This is the most viro music video ever!
All of his stuff
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=ABC4D381C651900F - tom6a, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2#11. Mentos and Diet Coke, baby.
And of course, now you can win 1000 iTunes and a year's supply of mentos. What is anyone going to do with a year's supply of mentos anyway?
See: http://digg.com/general_sciences/Behind_YouTube_s_Mentos_and_Diet_Coke_videos - Kindred420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2good article.
so far youtube has been a excellent tool for advertising our product. In 5 months we have had over 6 Million video views,75% are from youtube traffic,not from our main website. - pcdave79, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wanna be a YouTube Star and with these 10 ideas . . . one of them is sure to work . . lol . . . yeah right . . nice article though . . .
- revmitcz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sure do (didn't wanna link it and get dugg down unless someone asked) :

And my profile (same username as here) :
http://youtube.com/profile?user=revmitcz - thisisfunah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Where's the "10 Ways to Get a Life"?
- Enchirito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1well. this is more of a 'what type of videos get the most views' article.
I'd really hate for YouTube to be known only for those type of videos. There are people spending a lot of time to make homebrew entertainment for the masses and those are the people who really deserve the attention YouTube can provide. I guess it's just the state of video on the net right now, but i think it will change.
Take a look at our original YouTube series. I promise there is NO Lip-synching.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3MyPSkvCo8 - ILoveTech4ME, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1damn crap, this ***** doesn't work right
- ArcticCelt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The "Kimbo street fighting" video is totally disturbing. At the end, one of the guys end up with a eye completely destroyed; it look like half out of is socket. The guy is probably blind of one eye now.
All that for probably something like 50$
Sad. :( - Cyberdactyl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes - that list MAY be the way to get adolescent adults and children to watch YouTube.
However, there is TRUE Talent on YouTube. Check out this re-enactment actor. Only 19 years old . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z04msEnyhIg - gd007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2good list to go off of.
- ILoveTech4ME, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yea so this comment was a joke, in case all of you didn't get it
bree is not real, lol - Flashman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Hooray, another top-10 list describing how to be like everyone else :P
- rcran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1#11 Be a sweet old englishman and make videos about your biography and news and things...
- ILoveTech4ME, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1the list missed any references to my friend bree, which they could have said good old fashioned acting, and comedy
otherwise not a bad list - milomilomilo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Star is maybe a bad choice of words.
People "starring" in porns are watched, But I'm thinking that star might not fit. - Robertsk8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1very cool, do you have a link to your vid?
- crossers, on 07/21/2008, -0/+0I think you forgot about 11 and 12 ways!

http://www.pmidsig.org - jtjenn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1LOL! I agree.
- marioluigi123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Infringement on who? All I can think of is maybe the music.
- OhJay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Digg has an entire section dedicated to videos. Why not put the crap there instead of polluting the programming section?
- Kestral, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Be a young semi-cute blonde girl like Brookers :/
- kunz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0that 3 year montage is awesome
- tehpoutine, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I tried all 10 ways and I'm still not a star. Marked as inaccurate.
- Robertsk8, on 10/12/2007, -16/+4People mark your comment down, but I praise you. You are the voice needed in digg. Thank you
PS I like your SN
