Yesterday (correction: it was Tuesday) my mailbox nearly exploded with friend notifications from digg.com.  I have been an isolated member of digg since 2006.  I was there, but I did not have any friends.  Somehow someone out there in the RE blogosphere ignited a friending spree on digg, and now, 24 hours later, something like 50 RE bloggers out there have found me and I have found them.  Someday I might even have as many friends on digg as Jeff Turner, who has more friends than anyone just about everywhere.

I could turn this into a rant about the number of sites I am now networking with other RE pros on, but I will save that for another day.  Right now I need to update my status on facebook, leave some comments for Linda Davis on AR, recommend Brian Brady on LinkedIn, see if Rich Jacobson has posted on myspace lately, check out Kristal Kraft's pics of the ballgame on Flickr.com, find out if Mitchell Hall has answered any new questions on Trulia Voices, and check out Teresa Boardman's Squidoo Lens.  I am tired just thinking about it.  Better sign up for Twitter so everyone knows I am tired.   

Oh yeah. If you haven't added me yet to your digg friends here is my profile link.  Sorry they don't give points. 

Update for Missy Caulk and everyone else:  Digg.com allows people to vote on the best stories of the day and promote them.  Getting to the first page of digg lhas been known to crash people's sites because it brings in so much traffic.  I don't think any real estate blogger has ever made it to page one of digg.  The most popular posts tend to be tech related.  digg is divided by categories so most real estate posts would fit under the business category.  It is kind of a way of finding the most popular posts out there in the whole blogosphere on any given day.  Lots of blogs outside of AR have a little row of icons at the bottom of the posts and one is usually for digg so that the reader can vote for the post on digg or "digg it."

Someone posted on this yesterday, I think it was Chris Griffin and she was getting tons of emails. She didn't really know what digg was and I don't think the question was ever answered, but lots of people parked. So come on Maureen, edit your post and tell us what it is. Come on, I know your tired...........but please !!

Mine started on Tuesday and then it was a small river running in my email. I haven't heard a peep today. But I agree it can get very tiring keeping up.

I agree with Monika, can you enlighten us with another post that would explain digg? It's just another teensy little thing to add to your to do list!  I am so far behind with this stuff.

All this socializing is exhausting. I plan to try to digg out this weekend.

I've been wanting to explore Digg but just haven't found enough hours in the day. Maybe your explanation and tutorial will save the rest of us some time.

I just posted something about the "Digg" phenomenon the other day.  My email was jam packed with tons of Digg Friends. Oye.

Hi Maureen - I don't quite get Digg either, but what you've written helps somewhat.  Your paragraph about all the other networks is funny, and it certainly hit home with me.  I can't even remember what all of them are that I've joined.  The only way I remember I'm on some of them is if I get some kind of email notification about someone doing something on one of those.......  I am wondering what the point is of many of them.

I got hit too, and of course, hit you and several others of my favorite bloggers. =)   Digg is interesting to me, facebook is actually overwhelming!

I seem to join all of these groups. But it's starting to get overwhelming. How do you keep track of them all?

Maureen - same here. Came here after reading Lola's blog. You guys have so much experience with social networking, you must have a clear idea by now - what is the best venue to increase business? I am not talking about learning, sharing, etc, -just live people contacting you to sell or buy real estate. Which one is it for you? Thanks for the post.

Bill,  There is nothing wrong with facebook.  I rather like it as a matter of fact.  I have gotten leads there.

Steve, I have trouble keeping track of the ones I don't use much.  Digg would fall in that category.

Faina, my best means of generating business is my real blog, miOaklandCounty.com
