Ok, I am sick and tired of not knowing which topic to submit my blog in on Digg. Almost all of my posts are in the “Tech” topic, but from there it is very hard to choose. I mean it should not be to hard to submit a link to the most popular social news website in the world. Here is how I suggest Digg revise these topics. As of now, they are: Apple, Design, Gadgets, Hardware, Industry News, Linux/Unix, Microsoft, Mods, Programming, Security, Software.
Here are the topics that I think need to be added in order for things to be a lot simpler and easier.
1) I love writing about Wordpress, Digg, etc. Digg needs a “Internet” topic for blog posts and news about things on the Internet. This would be a solution for so many of my blog posts that are forced into a bad topic like “Industry news,” which is becoming a common topic for links that do not fit into any of the topics.
2) I would also love a topic called “Tech Opinion.” This would be a great place for blog posts and rants. I would submit a lot here since I am always expressing my opinion in my posts. I would also spend a lot of time here since I love reading people’s blogs and tech opinions.
Really, those two topics would help a lot. There is no reason any link should not have a place in Digg. I doubt Digg will even take this into consideration, but maybe if a lot of people agree with me, someone will realize that there need to be a change. For example, I really do not think this post belongs in Tech Industry News, but that is exactly where I am forced to put it. Anyways, even if my suggestions aren’t the best idea, I think everyone can agree some sort of change is needed. Thanks for reading

I know exactly what you mean. I can never seem to find a category to submit to digg.

I recommend that instead of waiting for Digg to add more specific topics that you look at Reddit. Reddit has an equivalent to topics called Subreddits which are user created so if you can’t find an appropriate Subreddit you can simply create your own.

thanks, I’ll check it out. Does it have as big of a community as digg?

Reddit’s community isn’t as large in numbers as Digg’s but the users at Reddit seem to be able to have more meaningful conversations and debates. Digg users are starting to sound like YouTube users in the comments section. Its kinda like Mac VS PC. There are a lot more PC users compared to the number of Mac users but as you know the Mac is far superior.
