Serial Diggers And Gaming Digg
August 12th, 2005 • Related • Filed Under
Connected Internet made it onto the Digg homepage yesterday for the first time with 272 diggs and 31 comments on my article “How successful is Digg really?”. I was particularly happy to see that the phrase I coined, “serial diggers” went down well and I hope it sticks!I’ve been using Digg myself for about 3 weeks now and normally I just digg articles that I like (after reading!) but I have to admit that sometimes I can be a serial digger as it is a bit addictive.
I don’t usually read all of the comments that are placed, but given that this one was my article I read all the comments to see what people were saying about my post and I learnt some interesting things about Digg and how people use it:
- If you want to game Digg then post about kevin rose, past techtv employees, diggnation, twit, the broken, system, Linux, Mac, Apple, Firefox or Steve Jobs.
- Serial Digging could be controlled by forcing users to read a article before they are allowed to Digg. I think all submitters would want this
- Some people use digg as a bookmarking system, digging lots of articles quickly that they want to read later
- Some people just like to see the number go up!
