Week 5 # 10

In this excercise I signed in for Digg and found out that
Digg is the most popular social news site on the Internet and can drive a lot of traffic to your blog if your blog post gets to the main page, but can help us find interesting blogs by helping us network with like-minded blogger. But beware there are also lot of cons in using Digg like it's hard to get your blog posts on the main page of Digg. Spam content finds its way on Digg frequently.
People pay the top users and other companies to generate diggs for content and move it to the main page of Digg leaving less chance for your posts to get to the main page.

I then visited Reddit and found that it is similar to the Digg website only that it is very simple and do not have much adverts, but the language what is used is sometimes offensive.

I read two articles on Digg one was of what news anchors do during commercial breaks it has a video on it and the other article was does buying experiences not possessions leads to greater happiness, can money makes us happy if we spend on the right purchases. It makes you think and give your personal opinion on it. The first story on News Anchor tried to sell us to their News Channel and the second one tried to sell us the story through the magazine. So one wonders if this is new advertising gimmick???????

But what ever the purpose it is a good tool for the libraries to use to inform of what is happening in their local library.
