Digg users need to apply brain and must use their eyes!

Digg.com, the invention and one of the biggest buzz of this year. The site which is mostly driven by it’s users and does that by giving the power to it’s users only (Although, Philipp Lenssen doesn’t agree to that). Anyway, not going into the way Digg works and doesn’t, lets see what exactly happens at Digg and how it’s users react to any story!

Digg users are really emotional : It has been noticed that the digg users are really emotional and attached towards certain areas of the internet. They hate Microsoft (they may not be knowing the reason, but they hate because its cool to hate Microsoft because some idiot on this earth said it once.) They love Firefox, Digg and Google for sure. Post anything against these and you’ll have the biggest negative comments ever!

Digg users don’t love to see ads on the blogs and other websites other than digg : As I said before that you’ll see everything negative and most comments on the advertising placed on your blog or website, if in case you say anything which is not liked by the community. They will continue to see the ads on the Digg.com and will not say even a word about it.

They don’t read the whole articles properly : Digg users will not read the article properly or will not care to research more about it but will vote and write all sorts of negative comments. FOX has been it’s victim as well. Go ahead and read this article from Amit Agrawal and find out why it is needed to apply brains and energy in the right places.

Good headlines move them : If you can write great emotional headlines then believe me you’ll need to buy a pro hosting plans as you’ll be able to rule the digg’s frontpage easily. The story on the left was posted by some user and he simply wrote that if this story reaches the homepage of Digg then he’ll abuse his/her boss. Not taking the credit away from the blog writer and submitter and rather I would like to congratulate him/her for hitting the hammer on the right spot of the nail.

But, these few example confirm that Digg users are emotional and as Amit said that there are moments when the herd behavior rules Digg.com. It is really important for Digg users to actually use their heads, before making any vote to any story to keep the Digg as the community of intellectual people.

Note : This is not a rant against the community or any negative comment against Digg.com. If you feel so, then please read the post again and try to find out the main motive behind this post and I’m sure you’ll work hard towards making digg a nice place.
