First, I’m going to say kudos to Apple for trying involve themselves in the world of social media. Let’s envision this scenario: a user has a support issue about an Apple product.

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. Besides major usability issues , duplicate stories submissions , and ads that literally scream at you , Digg has yet another issue to deal with: privacy.

Yet we tolerate exactly that type of behavior from leading search and social media sites every day, and even reward them with growing traffic and more of our precious time. A potential Google killer , Facebook killer or even Twitter killer may not do it with superior technology, but simply with a better user experience. And listens.

If you use Twitter regularly, you’d see that it wins as a social news site that provides instantaneous news — at least of that caliber. As Chris Garrett explains in his post, if you follow numerous feed bots, you can get the news all the time. The issue, of course, is engagement.

By this point, it was evident that it was going to be difficult to reach a representative on behalf of a company about an issue that actually has some legitimacy. There’s a clear error in their promotion and they aren’t acknowledging the issue. The FourSquare/Facebook issue is at best a confusing promotion.

What happened to a simple news site? All of the usability issues and obvious screw ups are killing me. As Tamar pointed out, it’s a social news site, not a network and I could care less about how often profiles are updated. If they wanted social networking, they had their options: Facebook, Myspace, Friendster, etc.

While not all social functionality will make noticeable impact on your SEO efforts, certain ones like blogging can literally become the centerpiece of a successful SEO strategy. After all, what’s the point of ranking well in Google if the user that finds you in the search results can’t fully engage with your site from his/her smart phone?

They are very useful to monitor conversations online and deal with any issues (positive or negative) as they occur. Your reputation is so important online because both bad and good news spread quite quickly.

However, it’s been a long-standing issue that Digg has not acknowledged its users to satisfaction. This is not a regular practice on the social news giant, and unfortunately, that is probably the biggest thing causing its downfall. It’s hard to say if that will happen again. Time will only tell.
