Nearly four months later, the social features appear to be here to stay. As Digg becomes more of a social network and less of a social news network (or a hybrid that incorporates both elements), it has a lot of obstacles it needs to face. But are they secure?

I would say he’s been able to strategize quite well from the beginning to the present. With that, I’ll take it back to its roots and when it was brought to my attention.

They are also the most likely to pass the word along to their circle of friends, family, and acquaintances (a prerequisite to “going viral” within social channels). However, if your website and email messages don’t call attention to these features you’ve lost out on the opportunity to reach these folks and make these things happen.

Perhaps this is the fault of FriendFeed’s realtime feature. Often, the turning point for me on FF is when I post something and there’s no engagement, thereby reinforcing the thought that FriendFeed is a self-serving (good for FF, bad for us) platform that doesn’t ever benefit the content creator. People never see anything.

It also reminds you that Facebook is one of their social destinations on the web, but that you might be interested in their YouTube page.
