What is Digg?11 Comments
- attila, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Uh, it's commentary on Digg. You obviously don't know the first rule of getting Dugg to the front-page.
- gweedo767, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Well, I had two stories go front page yesterday:
http://digg.com/gaming_news/Count_down_and_save_money_for_the_Wii
http://digg.com/gaming_news/Wii_gets_added_ability_to_forgive_sins
From what I can tell they got FP'ed for a few reasons:
1) Be timely. The Wii is hot right now, so articles about it are going to be popular
2) Don't be too serious. Post #2 was total satire and Post #1 has a much need Pirate mode (it is more popular than the European page based on my logs).
3) Luck...well, not luck. But you do need a few people with some good friends groups to digg your article to speed things up a bit.
4) Most importantly, have content worth while. - jriley101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When there is a voting system there will be a democratic ruler. This collection of diggers may swing to the left or the right and that depends on the number of distinct voters at any given time.
- jangelo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow. Some (insert expletives here) just buried the story.
More traffic to the site? Isn't that what DIGG is all about? To bring traffic to the cool, interesting stuff online. Wake up.
I hear some countries are kicking out democratically-elected presidents because they realize a few years down the road that they're not so great after all. That's democracy for you.
Yes, it is a commentary. Too much time on my hands? Some people actually do some intellectual work, you know.
Sigh. - attila, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"People love to argue. The Mac vs. Windows article was really cool, in that I never expected people to DIGG that. My fellow FG bloggers don't even know who the DIGG submitter was."
The Digg submitter was me... I read ForeverGeek everyday but I don't participate in the comments and such, as they would be a large distraction. But I do appreciate the posts that FG either writes itself or links to, and I like to share them with as many people as I can. =) - erikuma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow.. along with too much hype at the website, I agree he caught many attentions on the articles he wrote. The Mac vs Windows article is a good one, though.
- AhmedF, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Four times, not bad :-)
- Wojjie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Kind of reminds of certain "democratic" governments.
- apotropaic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I think he's looking WAY to into his front page articles... marked as lame.
What he is forgetting is that he was just a flash in digg users eyes out of hundreds of other diggs. Its like writting an article becaues a celebrity shuck your hand.... along with 500 other people, but you are the special one?! - sabotank, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1way, way too much time on his hands.......
- Porsche944, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Marked as lame, This is just an attempt to get more traffic to his site. No actual numbers of increase in revenue, page hits, bandwidth used all over time.
Very lame how did this even make this to the front page? I sware in another year this whole digg.com will be useless.
