The Effects Of Posting On Digg.com
So, this post is entirely unrelated to being a landlord but interesting (I think) nonetheless.
Today, I ran upon a silly time-waster of a story on Digg.com entitled “The Top Ten Things I’ve Learned From My Patients.” Obviously written by a medical doctor. In the comments section below the post, some malcontent posted a comment about “top 10/5/25″ type-articles making it to the front page of Digg.com yada, yada, yada.
So, in an effort to egg this guy/girl on, I posted a comment below their’s to the effect of: Yup, and here’s another one, which I linked to this post.
Well, the amount of traffic I received just from this stupid, unrelated comment, which was number 12 in the list of comments…was absolutely amazing!
I just had to log in to my web server so that I could watch the Apache access-log entries go whizzing by (yes I’m a geek)….it was captivating!
Viva la Digg effect! Ok, end of “geek out.” Move along now.
