Seth_Stuck is the resident pro-Digg advocate. He posts lists of Digg articles that he asks FReepers to digg/bury. Please contact him to get involved in the Digg effort by FReepers. He has the list of FReepers who participate at Digg. I posted articles with links to his lists for awhile, but have become busy with other things and have stopped doing so lately.

Here are a few threads to review.

09/04/2009: Conservative News That YOU Should Digg!

09/03/2009: Conservative News That YOU Should Digg!

What is Digg? And why should I care?

I commend your intentions, spirit of purpose and energy and welcome you to FR.

I regret, however, that Digg may be a lost cause. Its user base is almost exclusively a collection of leftists, statists, misanthropes and/or college dorm room-bound angry young men.

Digg has been reduced to a pointless daily crabs-in-a-bucket click-war where mockery, anger, and countless instances of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. Differences of opinion are ALWAYS accompanied by ad hominem attacks.

Its eternal focus on video games, ‘hot babes,’ toys, cartoons and sci-fi films should tell you all you need to know about the demographics of its user base.

On the bright side, Digg’s power, influence and popularity have slipped badly since it first fascinated the media who, always, cannot tell the difference between a fad and a trend.

Far from being a barometer of the hip and happening, it is instead a stagnant Internet backwater of arrested adolescence, sexual/social frustration and embarrassing Poli Sci 101 naivete.

We could have a larger following than the left at Digg and finally get the news that WE want to see promoted.

You're trying to influence a Liberal news site. Why don't Conservatives create their own damn news site??? Like what Jim Robinson did here. Or what Andrew Breitbart did. You want something like Digg, but for Conservatives? -- then create it yourself!

I've been saying for years, Conservatives should start their own entertainment network. Then our entertainment won't come out of the sewer known as Hollywood. But has it happened? No. Go back to sleep!
