Stop Whining About Digg
3First it was the DiggBar, now it’s the “hijacking” of Digg shortened URLs. Here’s my opinion on this whole controversy, summed up into two words:
Who Cares?
To be fair, it seems a lot of people do, but I don’t. Here’s a few questions you should ask yourself before whining about Digg.
Is anyone forcing you to use Digg or their URL shortener? You can use tr.im, TinyURL, bit.ly, and many others for your URL shortening needs.
Did you notice there’s a little “X” button in the top right corner that users can click to remove the frame?
And to all the SEO people out there: do you realize there are other things you can do to improve your rankings besides getting a direct link from Digg?
I wonder what would happen if Digg decided to nofollow all their outgoing links. What a firestorm that would create in the SEO community.
