Posting on Digg.com
Well, yesterday I thought I'd try posting an article on
digg.com
to see how it would do. I was ecstatic when I reached almost 20 diggs by day end. The
article
wasn't great by any means, I was simply testing the waters. Well over night, it jumped to over 250 diggs and actually made it to the front page. Wow! My sites traffic as of 11am was over 10,000 hits. My normal is around 200 to 300. Unfortunately, my ad revenue still won't buy me a cup of coffee this morning.
As for the actual article, I think most people missed the point but at least the question is in their head. Hopefully when they run into a similar problem they'll remember it and come up with a much better solution.
Anyway, I just digg digg.com now.
UPDATE:
Well it's day 2 and I've leveled off at 268 diggs, not too shabby. Todays traffic is no where near 10k but it is much higher and I'm expecting to break 1000 by days end.

Not quite sure what that has to do with the article I posted on digg or this entry.
I will tell you this though, when you are happily married, as I am, you share the "pants".
We aren't in the fifties anymore.

Hmmm, Honey, I'm not sure what this comment has to do with the article or entry as well. I'm trying to even find the humor in the comment, and I can't seem to find it. Unfortunate.
My conclusion is that he's either single or a wife beater. Either way, it's unfortunate that others don't share what we have. I love you honey.
