If you have to send people messages via mybloglog asking them to digg one of your articles the following things are true about your site.

1. It sucks

2. You don’t deserve any diggs because if your article was good it would have been dugg up all by itself.

The next person who sends me such a request is going to get ridiculed and I’m going to make it a point to digg their article down, not up.

The digg phenomenon has, in my opinion, created a new breed of bloggers that I call the “one hit wonders.” They’ve had an article make it up to the front page on digg at some point in the past and now they feel entitled to repeat that feat. The result? Mediocrity, of course.

Don’t ever digg my articles. The digg effect brings wordpress blogs down faster than a meth head chasing a pickup truck full of Sudafed.
