Comments on: What is The Difference Between Digg and StumbleUpon Users? http://www.dailyblogtips.com/qa-what-is-the-difference-between-digg-and-stumbleupon-users/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:50:25 +0000 hourly 1 By: Jason http://www.dailyblogtips.com/qa-what-is-the-difference-between-digg-and-stumbleupon-users/#comment-931353 Jason Wed, 22 Jul 2009 19:34:56 +0000 http://www.dailyblogtips.com/?p=3088#comment-931353 I'm not too fond of many Digg users. Many Digg users are dumb. While are intelligent though, many aren't. Look at the comments, most users try to come up with some clever, catchy phrase just to get more diggs, and dont bother to make a comment with any insight. Most comments are quite redundant. And the vast majority are complete fucking assholes that exploit any opportunity they have to disparage other users. They also follow the trend of a comment's popularity to choose whether they digg or bury a comment. For example, if a comment starts off with a couple buries, users will continue to bury them and will end up with a large amount amount of buries. While other comments that start off with a couple diggs, will end up with many digs. This is all Regardless of whether the comment is smart, clever and insightful, so-so or downright mindless idiotic. A few weeks ago, I did and experiment where I made a dozen Digg accounts, and chose a comment that had 5 buries. I used my accounts to bring it up to 6 diggs, lo and behold a few hours later, the comment had 28 diggs. I've also done the opposite with the same results. I’m not too fond of many Digg users.

I see Digg as this intimidating scene, whereas anyone can get into stumbleupon, and get something out of it. The barrier to entry is much lower.

I now have a clearer vision of these two social sites. Anyway, I am not anymore submitting my posts to them as I leave my readers to share my posts anywhere they want. Thanks for answering all my questions, and I think this is now my fourth one. I may still ask another one later. That was a very keen observation, Daniel.
