Taking the Netscape “Lets Pay People to Submit Stuff” one step further

Written October 5th, 2006 by Paul in General

The flaw in the Netscape.com ploy to pay Digg.com ’s top story submitters is this:

They’re paying people to “submit” stuff. Wouldn’t it make more sense to mine the top Digg.com Commenters instead? Those are the people who drive the community by sparking and carrying on discussions, voting stories up or down, etc.

I’d rather have a group of passionate people writing content for my sites than submitting links any day.
