Do you know if there is a situation where people are creating multiple Digg accounts and mass-digging their articles?

They might take a while to put together, but you don't have to be a guru to do them. Personally, I think that really long posts can be good. If you write a long post, someone who already knows about the subject is more likely to read about something they didn't already know and subsequently Digg you. I guess it is good to have a mix though. I had no idea about these Digg brokers. Do you know if there is a situation where people are creating multiple Digg accounts and mass-digging their articles?

If you want to make new friends in a hurry, take a couple of minutes and leave a 2-3 sentence comment that shows you actually took the time to read what someone was sharing. You may also want to digg/comment on users who don't get many diggs. It's a less crowded field...one that can get you noticed faster. It's also worth noting that Digg is one example. Depending on the nature of your submissions, you may want to try other social media sites that are more appropriate to the content being submitted. #5 is a great point, not just for your friends’ submissions either.
