Using social media - Part four: Digg


Digg makes the assertion that it is "committed to giving every piece of content on the web an equal shot at being the next big thing." There's definitely something to that idea. The content on Digg is being submitted by users so that it can be shared with the online community to gain exposure.

Like all of the other useful social media tools we've covered, Digg is a free service. The more an article, photo or video "gets digged" the more popular it will become, hopefully landing a spot on the homepage!

I think it is an interesting and democratic way to decide what content on the Internet is the "best." Comedians can use Digg to get more views on their media than YouTube alone. You know your doing something right if a lot of people Digg your material.
