Blogging today can’t do without social media. Blogs are created only for self-satisfaction and nothing can be expected from it. And unless you will be able to take advantage of it you’ll be compromising a respectable part of prospective traffic and new chances to promote your blog. However, all the hopes shattered.

Digg will ban a small site just cause one of its user’s submitted an article that other digg members liked and promoted, just the moderator did not like the link. Digg won’t listen to reason when assured that the site didn’t breach its TOS. Digg bears these users. This does not make the service any better and that’s why I agree with those users. Digg could be large traffic generator for websites, and a few of the top Diggers are (allegedly) cashing on their influence.

Digg heard to the majority, which is composed of 99% dormant, or barely active users. The 1% of us who really devoted time to Digg became targets merely because we earned names for ourselves. Digg stated it was banned cause you could have only one account. Funny they were able to work out that I am both a 42 year old boy from FL and a 36 year old woman from Afghanistan using a another yahoo email account and created and posted from different ip addresses. Digg has bent a little for the worse. To be quite truthful I am amazed that Google has not purchased it as yet.

Digg recently commenced booting off users for running scripts - programs that allow them to submit and vote on stories with less clicks - which the company stated breached its terms of use. Digg just turn out users down and banned their accounts for life. Digg has got a select group of super-submitters that ascertain which stories make it to the front page and which stories get buried. Even if it’s the most pathetic story. Digg isn’t the only place to promote your site there are others who gets a lot of visitors.

There shouldn’t be a ranking system in the least. Digg shouldn’t be about contending like this. Digg.com constitutes an fascinating news website that acquires its main-page articles according to how much the Digg community likes it,. Digg seems to think they can keep operating without any members. Keep booting them off and one day that is what Digg is going to wake up to no member involvement!

The common Digg user is an 18 to 24 year old broad geek atheist who’s vehemently against Scientology, powerfully for freedom of information, and other things, like the younger man. Digg might not be a tech-focused site any longer, but does that mean that techies will actually stop using it? Maybe some will, maybe a few won’t. Digg your friend’s stories is great, but check your friends list for activity. Are accounts dead, inactive or do they just Digg stuff you are not into. DIGG is idiot when it concerns community. Let folks work however they can to communicate.

The number three user Zaibatsu, were banned for linking to unsuitable content: in Zaibatsu’s case, a site where a female digger was selling her underwear. Digg will implode if the expansion carries on, cause no-one will be bothered to digg for anything that isn’t on the front page. Therefore in the long run, those that have the time/inclination to wade through the stories will land up becoming pseudo-editors (you will be able to promote a story on just 50 diggs if you submit at the right time), and so it’ll either get dugg by a lot of by people who enjoyed it and can’t be bothered to digg for stories, or it will be dead. Digg is merely another great traffic generator good copyrighters use to get money. These content/sites even out a name:attained for Digg.

Digg’s popular voting techniques take news content out of the hands of biased organizations and put it into the hands of less-biased, Diggers. Digg demands to bypass this curve or it is going to crumble. Banning good people and keep a handful of people who love just Google and digg then you’ll simply going to see “good news about google” and “good news about digg” on the front page. Digg had better accept this type of misuse into account in its algorithms and block off stories from being posted for sites that are acknowledged to be spamming digg. There could be a brink built and after that brink is reached, stories from that website can be blocked for a month or something along those lines.
