That was somewhat addressed in last week’s chat with a goal to have “town hall&# meetings and forums where Digg staff can interact with the users to make the experience more pleasurable. This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall.

In the past few weeks, however, even Digg’s other top users are seeing that Digg is becoming more difficult of a social news site to enjoy, and after stepping away from Digg for awhile, I have some thoughts and reflections on how it was and possibly how it should be. Did I post on forums? Did I promote by IM?

You can’t only write comments on forums. Social media needs to be coupled with a creative strategy for maximum effectiveness, especially as everyone and their mothers join these sites and services to market themselves, their services, or their products. You can’t just IM your friends begging for votes via the backchannel.

Thanks Reply Barry Schwartz December 16, 2009 at 1:06 pm Tamar, A few comments… (1) I believe you are wrong on the point about everyone being a social media expert but not the same with SEO. I see it in forums and on blogs. I’ve come from SEO and social networking backgrounds. 2) SEO is far from immediate.
