Evil Digg techniques
March 11th, 2009
Every social media site takes some sort of strategy, and, of course, Digg is no different. And, since Digg is (arguably) one of the largest/most popular social news sites and has the ability to send a high volume of visitors to a site, there’s no question some people out to game it.
Well, if you’ve ever wondered what that means, or how they do it, atomicpoet has revealed several “Evil Digg techniques.”
My first reaction is a combination of “The first rule of fight club is…’” and “Why on earth would you share that?” But I agree with atomicpoet in that Digg users have the right to know what’s going on. These methods to game Digg are certainly wrong, and Digg has taken steps to ban users who have violated the site’s TOS by using some of these techniques.
What do you think? Should this information be shared? What do you think of the techniques? Which are the most clever and which spell disaster?
