It just doesn’t seem to work well when I auto-submit anything, except to twitter. It’s a huge wake up call that “I am NOT a power user so just don’t even go there” lol.

Tia, if only more people had your common sense and honesty…! Auto-submitting needs to be approached very carefully. It is so easy to annoy followers/subscribers with high-volume feeds or poor targeting. Keep up the good work and you WILL be a “power user”.

I has been ages since I used Digg; nice to see they are catching up in the social arena. There has been a lot of discussion regarding the auto-submit feature and poor content, but I think voters will “rank up” the better content. It may take a while, though.

Personally, I have not had much success with Digg, hence my not utilizing it for a while. Perhaps I’ll give it another shor.

I think the new automatic submission option can be useful for users who haven´t time to fill all of the details of a manual entry, or want to bypass their boring captcha scheme.

Thanks for the article Kristi.

I am just starting to think about using Digg as part of a big SEO experiment that I’m doing right now, so this post is really helpful.

There’s still plenty to learn, but I’m starting to get an idea of how I can use Digg effectively now. It looks like a lot of fun anyway.

So what is the downside to submitting less-good posts? Does that cause your better submissions to perform worse when they are published?

I’m not very active on Digg right now but I plan to be in the future. I’m very active on Twitter but I need to step up my game on Digg. It’s good to know these new features before the upgrade… gets us prepared for what’s coming. Thanks for this thorough review… gonna tweet it and digg it too
All the best,
Eren

I’ve used Digg on a very limited scale for the past year or so (since they’ve stopped the Shout function). The whole idea of them becoming more social is absolutely awesome. I would not mind trying this out. I do love the idea that you can like your RSS feeds on Digg. It’s awesome. When is this going live? Is there any indication of when this is happening?

I stopped using Digg for quite sometimes as it does not bring much traffic to me. Maybe my methods were wrong. Will try it again.

Well instead of banning one Power Digger at a time, why not get them all in one move? I’m sure this is what Kevin Rose and his boys are thinking.
