I wonder what it would take to get the most diggs, ever.
For those who don’t know, www.digg.com is a social news sharing site, that allows people to “digg” a story. The more diggs, the higher the story ranks, thereby increasing the visibility of it to the world. Well, the world of digg users anyway.
For some, getting digg numbers is like scaling up Mount Everest. The higher they get, the happier they are. For others, they like the interactivity of social sites or for those that write content, the idea of people reading their blog posts or news articles is just plain nice.
So, what would it take to be the most digged (dugg? dugged?) article on digg? Would it be a well-written piece on global warming? Would it be a sensational tabloid-style picture about the latest celebrity caught doing something insane? Would it be an account of something great that happened?
I am really curious to know what the collective unconscious of digg users is. It might also be fun to do a few tests to see what happens with a variety of digg posts. How would people be swayed to digg one story vs. another? How might different tools allow the digg count to grow even more?
For the sake of argument, maybe this article should get the most diggs ever. Ya know, just as a test 
It simply takes a Power Digger his “Friends” and “Fans” working extra hard to get to the most diggs ever.
And it is for that very reason I despise Digg.
