13. Diggable vs. Linkable
Ask yourself the following about linkability
Am I Digging this because I want
others to see it, and pressing a single
button is an easy way for me to say
“this is cool?”
Or am I Digging this because People
need to know about this, because
they can’t live without it or because
without it they would be out of the
loop.
Is it possible that my information is so
new and/or informative that I will
actually become an authority on this
information, or serve as a reference
for others interested in writing about
similar content?
