Shouting About The Blind Power Of Digging Friends
Tue, Aug 5, 2008
By rights, the above image is pretty meaningless and pointless, wouldn’t you agree?
However, I have many friends amongst the Digg community.
Now I’m not calling them lazy, but a lot of them respond to ‘Shouts’ by digging just about any post put before them, often without even visiting the page.
So, the point of this little social experiment is to find out how many of them blindly Digg this post 
Who’s the more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows him?

Keep an eye on the counter….
Not dugg, but nice try.
I’m sure I’ll catch a few out though
Phew… a second Digg… I was wondering if this post would leave me with egg on my face
Still, given the amount of people… not really a good result, some might even click on it for a laugh.
Btw, might I suggest a subscribe to comments plugin. Bit easier to keep track of the conversation that way.
Yeah, good point, but this post was only written for a laugh anyway!
Hmmm… there is a subscribe to comments button at the bottom of the comment box… isn’t there?
Thanks for adding me to BlogCatalog - I’ve never really spent any time there but am hearing good things about it and will check it out after work today.
Whoops, I didn’t look past the related posts block.
Give BC a try, it’s a nice community. Of course with the usual signal to noise problems, but there are enough interesting people to make up for the crap.
Actually.. I checked and found that the subscribe to comments plugin was disabled.. thanks for helping me spot that.
Yeah, off to work soon, but will check BC out when I get back.
19 Diggs eh?
Well I know that Kelly viewed the post before digging but who else did????
