Q & A With Social News’ Top Submitters
Well. Look no further than the latest episode of the Drill Down.
“Wired Magazine & NewAssignment.net columnist (and top Digg & Propeller submitter himself) David Cohn turns the tables on Andy, Mu & Reg as he asks them the social news questions you wanted answered
in this 75-minute Q & A interview. What secret weapons do they use to submit? Whatâ??s their stance on gaming the systems? Where do they think Social News is headed? Listen & find out!”
I haven’t listened to it yet myself, but I should mention that the beginning of the podcast began with all four of us expressing mutual respect in all directions. I tried to ask hard questions, but in the end I have tons of respect for Muhammad, Andy and Reg as diggers and general all around dudes.
I hope to come back on the Drill Down again — next time not as a moderator asking them questions, but as the person that they interview — perhaps about crowdsourcing or citizen journalism.
So right as I wonder “Who are these people who get into social bookmarking?” Dave totally does a podcast on that very thing. Nice!
This was quite insightful, many thanks. Are people who are less into Digg–say, the 500th-ranked Digger–driven by the same things as the guys at the top? (They spoke a lot about the “love of the game,” if you will, but I wonder if that motivates even people who aren’t *that* “good” at “the game”).
