And this post turned me on to a whole new world of readburner. I use bloglines but I'm OK to change

@Shared: A conversation is what social media is about. I have gleaned more about what my readers just refuese beleive even though it's true and what they want to argue down because of whatever issues they have. They could have paid a ton for information or just read up on the topic highly. When something very new comes along, like many of my articles, they like to refuse there is a change coming.

Also many have been abusing social bookmark sites for so long, that when I write about that being wrong, these spammers really hate to think that their prime source of traffic is going to die. So, conversation and disscussion gives me a chance to see where stop points will come in my sales letters and overall sales processes.

@Digg Social Bookmarking gives you another positive indicator in Google but only if you get 50+ to 100 Diggs. The more votes you get the more you will rank well in Google especially under niche terms.

The draw back to Digg is if you are not Digg top 100 you are not going to make the front page for the most part. My friend submitted a great article, 287 Diggs in 12 hours but the number of buries killed him and he never made it. There is a malicious insider group in Digg that will come down on you in force if they decide they do not like your post.

So, to sum this up, I prefer both. BTW, SEO, Internet marketing and email marketing do not do well on Digg, they just draw the bury brigade.
