oh very nice and diggful post Jennifer that really make sense that just adding so many friends without knowing the back is useless and wont help you in long run. it is always good to make a network instead of friends so you can get a lot of exposure between your friend’s friend’s.

That’s genius! I never even thought of that before.

Thanks for brining those friend tools to my attention to. Just what I needed.

Rather scientific method for building a Digg friends list, but makes sense. Nice one.

Sadly, Digg Entourage hasn’t been updated in months, and the Digg member who created it is no longer a Digg member.

lol befriending people solely so that they will digg your articles seems a little selfish. I only digg friends articles if they are polite (don’t spam me on a daily basis) and if I find it interesting. If I notice that you’re digging my stuff, I’ll add you as a friend and digg your stuff as well but this is all done without any begging, requests etc – the friends I have on Digg and I digg each other stuff purely because we know each other not to being digging spam, not to be overly self promoting, and not to be out just for spamming diggs – and that’s why its more effective to actually digg things that are interesting as opposed to just digging everything that comes your way, and vice versa.

The big problem right now is that theres a lot of spam hitting the frontpages, sure they get buried but it’s too late they hit the frontpage and make their mark.

Great advice and very thorough with the suggestions to get me on the right track, I appreciate it.

Call me crazy but I think I’m at a crossroads right now. Just ditch Digg all together and make the switch to SU, which is so much more user intuitive and with half the BS – or go back and really start making some quality friends on Digg.

Oh to be or not to be…

Lots of valuable advice here, Jeff. I’m definitely going to try and become more active on Digg in 2008. (It was the anti-SEO bias that put me off until now, but hey, what the hell?) You’ve shown me that you can build an exceptional profile in such a hostile zone.
Thanks for the post, Jeff.
