Hillary Supporters confused on how to use Digg (from Digg.com)

[yourguide]

"Can someone Un-digg an article and help subtract from positive Diggs?" ... "I've been over there but it wasn't immediately obvious to me how to use it" ... "We need more diggers for Hillary!" ... "I tried digg one time and I couldn't get it to work" ... "Obamabots are very good at burying and digging articles" ... "It sounds like a geek thing" ...

2. I, too, am clueless on this "digg" business.

And I am not even a supporter of HRC.

But I see this "digg" stuff all over the internet.

I thought maybe it was something you had to subscribe to, join up.

5. Awww, now I feel like a jerk.

You sign up for it, it's very easy tho, if you like a story you just click on "digg it" after you've signed up. Its a way for people to promote their articles. the hottest stories over the last 24 hours is always fun to check out.

8. Don't take it like that...

I really appreciate the enlightenment, thank you so much.

And I am going to check it out.

Thanks, yg,
Tom

10. This is the first I've even heard of it

So I'm as clueless as the rest of 'em. LOL

12. Here (from yourguide)

She was kind enough to offer a thumbnail education.

And I thought that I was the only terminally clueless one on DU. Maybe you and I could start our own Forum, MaineDem.

[MaineDem]

13. Thanks!

I learn something new here everyday.

I'm glad I read about Firefox a few years ago, for example.

Gotta love DU!

:cheers:

17. A "Terminally Clueless" forum

sounds like a great idea. A place for the rest of us to catch up on what is already painfully obvious to everyone else. :think:

[TomInTib]

19. Then there were three...

We may have something going here, pscot.

[Raine]

18. I was clueless too

but I figure any day I learn something new is a day not wasted. :-)

edit: added one word.

4. It sounds like a geek thing

20. Oh noes! Digg.com is an Obama Conspiracy!

First of all, the comments on Digg are worth a read. :evilgrin:

Following the link back to the echo chamber uncovered these gems:

It's a vile site. Completely ruled by Obamabots. I mean, completely. I think digg.com will cease to have any purpose soon as it can no longer performe the role it was meant to - represent public interest in certain topics.

Yes, because no one likes Obama. Its the Ron Paul noise effect. No other explanation. :rofl:

For the first time, the young generation is making more of a choice (albeit a bad one) because one campaigner has staff that know the tech, while the older (wiser?) voters stand by and are left confused why this other guy is winning.

Obama is winning because of digg.com? And we are just NOW finding out about it? <insert faux outrage and a few of these: :grr: >

Obama supporters organize their digg effort via mailing lists. Each day, they send out a list of pro-Obama / anti-Hillary articles for everyone on the mailing list to "digg".

It's a violation of digg's Terms of Service, but Digg management looks the other way.

Okay -- whose in charge of the mailing list? :rofl:

[yourguide]

22. Yeah, the mailing list crack was my favorite.

Lord knows how many times I've donated now and still am not on that list...what a waste of air.

[boppers]

21. Even the Ron Paul folks could figure out how to use it.

Maybe it's the whole "consensus" nature of digg, rather than blind vote stacking, that confuses them?

You know, like caucusing?
