Obviously I’m a fan of Digg or I wouldn’t have created PlugIM…  I found this article really interesting talking about how Digg works under the covers.  Not every post in this blog will be related to internet marketing but hopefully each will provide an interesting tidbit nonetheless.  Here’s the Digg story:

“According to Adelman, “Our karma system knows the difference between users created to just digg a story and a user who has interacted with the site.” The system also looks for auto-Digging, the computerized Digging of a story to fraudulently promote it to the homepage. Adelman confirms that there is zero editorial control happening at Digg.”

Wow, what a lot of work.  I started working on PlugIM back in May and finally after 4 months of hard work, the beta launch is almost upon us.  Friday September 1st is the official launch of the beta, I’m not expecting some huge rush of traffic, since I’ve been pretty tight lipped about this project, but that’s the day we’re going to start promoting.  I’m going to try to post an update and some useful information every day to keep a steady flow of fresh content going so be sure to bookmark us and come back often.  Also signing up for our newsletter will be a great way to keep up with what’s happening here.
