I digg my own post yesterday

July 17th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in digg, writing

Before I press the button to digg this post, I hesitated for a moment. Not sure why, but I have the preconception that digging ones own post is wrong.

I dugg it anyway.

My rationale is that sending to digg is like sending to a newspaper or magazine in real life. If your post is crap, you won’t get on the front page and that’s fine with me. That means I still need to improve on my writing and write more interesting posts. Not sending would mean not even giving yourself a chance to let others read your stuff. Of course, I would not digg all my post, just those that I think other readers will be interested in.

These two posts might give a better perspective why it is okay to digg your own post.
