Please, STOP doing this. I suppose Digg users already read the Digg page, so you don't have to post links here. Same applies for del.icio.us, reddit, spurl, and the boring list of sites that do the same functionality.

Digg is a very high traffic website. Getting KDE news on its front page is graet for KDE.

Right, but you don't need to post on the dot linking to the digg story about the dot story. Everyone that reads it is already here, reading the actual story; they don't need to read a summary on another website.

dolio,

the idea of asking people to "digg this" is not to have them go to digg.com and read the article *there*. The idea is to have those few friends of KDE (to be found *here*) who *do* frequent digg.com, to give the entry there a "thumbs up", so it may enter one of the front pages of digg for a while.

Very often, Digg posts who get a dozen of diggs within their first hour (only a dozen!) do get a lot of attention in their second and third hour....

And once on a Digg front page, a *lot* more Digg readers will see it there, and a part of them will come over to the Dot and read the full article here.

Got this?

Still thinking it is a bad idea to tell people about a Digg entry?

If yes, let it be told to you, that your trying to censor friendly people who are commenting on Dot stories and your asking them to stop helping to promote KDE is also a ... bad idea. Got *that*?
