Hey Mark, Ari... I don't particularly 'care' if my posts get dugg. I'm flattered if anyone sees fit to save/vote for them on any service, but I have no particular craving for it. Subscriber trends are a better indicator for me of whether my posts are resonating over time. However, I am curious as to why some posts (not on this site, clearly) get dugg while others get stumbled/saved on Delicious/spunn etc. It's a curiosity thing.

My experience is that the Digg community skews largely on matters of technology. Perhaps a variant of Digg would be beneficial for Marketing and PR. But, back to Ari's question, why would you want your posts to be dugg?

Perhaps the better question, Dave, is why you want your posts to be dugg.

I'll have to echo everybody else-I usually use Del.ici.ous rather than Digg. Maybe we're just not a Digg-ing bunch?...

Yeah, I'll have to side with Ben. I actively participate in the space and don't use Dig at all. I actually find the opposite with short versus long posts on my blog, though my long posts are often controversial AND have a call to action.

Could it be the majority of your audience is not the "digging" kind Dave? There are a lot of active blog readers, stumblers, commenters out there who have never used Dig before. Interesting to think about... I wonder what the answer is.
