I have been getting frustrated with Digg as well. I was advising my cleaning business start ups to use it by writing informative articles, but most of them just lost interest pretty fast because they remained buried.

Dear Brian Carr,

I wanted to know if you offered sponsored links.
We would be interested in purchasing a link for one year.
If so I’d like to know how much you would charge for a link.

The website we want linked to is directbuyfranchising.com
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks,
Hannah

Strange that your last submission just disappeared. – I contacted digg and sent them the link to that submission and in my comment I suggested that other uses do the same in the hope that we might get Digg’s attention so they could start to listen to their users.
Seems that Digg is much more interested in selling advertising space than honouring it’s users!

I wont let them know about this submission… lets see if it’s still (t)here in the morning…

Hey, I’m gonna digg it up to the rafters. Logged in today, and half my friends have been inexplicably banned. Submitted a protest post from a friends (called “Bring Benny and Other Diggers BACK”).

My account will probably be pulled in 3…2…

I refer to my post of yesterday. Autobury top diggers …. think about it … a few hundred people who view the upcoming section auto burying their stories. We get back 60% of the front page. It becomes social again. End of problem.

LOL, nice article on the topic. So you mean there’s an active ‘power-users’ community digging the same ‘netcasters’ for full profiting of the traffic on those servers making those normal digg users get automatically attached to those news services? Then it became like ads in a way, to register to those sources.

Now I understand how my diggs weren’t really having an effect in any way: even looking at the ‘time-frame’ of your own post being at least shown on the category pages should have some random clicks: not even.

Ok, I definitely pussed out with my description. I was going to reference “power users” and “circle jerk” but, like I said, I’m a wuss.
