Nice post! At least I've learned here to not to worry if I'm not the first to break any news, but to go beyond "breaking news" and spin relevant breaking news into stories that relate to my niche. Thanks for the tips.

You're all morons. You do all the work while the scammers that run these sites cash the checks.

Social media it seems is getting a bit carried away lately.

Ugh, sites like Digg shouldn't be competitions for who can submit the best-titled story. They should be about delivering news - cold hard facts. Not speculation, opinion, and BS to get the most "diggs" for the submitter's e-penis.

Great post. Actually I came to this blog post through a Digg done by Maki from DoshDosh the Heading "Sometimes 'Breaking' News Just Isn't Good Enough on Digg.." tempted me to come here.

Thanks for sharing.

Awesome post with very insightful tips.

However, while using interesting angles in headlines *should* give an edge in theory, it's important to recognize that a top Digger with a huge list can still trounce all other dupes, regardless of creativity.

That's not to say their headline wasn't creative as well :)

@SEO Survivor

"itâ€™s hard to stay active everywhere"

Definitely is. That's why its good to pick the communities you enjoy the most and think you can get the most out of.

Nice post! I'm still struggling with Reddit, but the thing is with some many social media sites out there, it's hard to stay active everywhere... Anyway, good content.

"This is a great resource though Chris, and itâ€™s only strengthened by the fact that you know in your heart that NY is trash and all Boston sports teams are wonderful."

Ha! First of all -- I didn't write it. AND I certainly don't know that about NY teams. Super Bowl champs anyone?? ;)

Glad you liked it and congrats on the championship...
