Such was the case for this Digg story , which compared multiple web hosting companies and watched as these hosts handled the traffic spikes that resulted from the Digg effect.

Many companies partake in this “shiny toy syndrome&# and do it all without a plan or strategy in place. Just do it while giving back to the community as well. Influencer outreach may possibly be the most powerful outreach tactic that PR practitioners or marketers are laziest about. Want to self promote?
