Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Is it appropriate for an article-based web site to have a 'digg' button on each article? Or do sites usually just put one on the home page and that's it? Maybe both?
Some site examples I can look at?
Obviously I'm not familiar with the process of being dugg Is it for more than just technical articles?
What about otherones? Reddit? del.icio.us? Which ones do you typically put on web sites (if any) to help increase traffic?

It's fairly common these days to put a huge set of links to every social Xing site in existence, and digg/reddit counters on every article page. Digg is mostly for LOLcats and Ron Paul fanatics, but occasionally they'll promote some quality articles.

As sad as it may seem, but it's somewhat true. I was/am a Digg browser from way back in it's hay-day when Kevin was sneakily promoting it on The Screen Savers (back when TechTV was amazing, before Comcast decided to throw it down the toilet with G4). It was definitely a million times better then, stories were actually worth reading, and there were no "OMG LOOK AT THIS PICTURE" articles.

That show was awesome.. that whole channel was awesome with a few exceptions. Extended Play was really good too, back when Adam Sessler was just a correspondent or something rather than a host.. back before the show was renamed to X-Play and gained the maturity of a third-grader. :/
