The Digg Friends You Never Knew You Had
 By
Andy Beard
You can easily discover 10s, maybe even 100s of existing friends on Digg, if you only knew how and where to look.
Experienced users of social news sites such as Digg will probably find most of this content familiar, but I know many that will appreciate an important reminder.
I have never seen anyone write a guide on this very important part of Digg which might appear to be obvious, however I spent a few hours browsing Digg friends, and friends of friends, and know that many will find this useful.
I should stress this is more of a social bloggers guide than for someone who spends most of their time on social networks, or the popular A list blogs, and it is only something that has become really possible over the last 6 months with the gain in popularity of blog social networking tools such as MyBlogLog, Blogcatalog and Bumpzee.
Starting From Scratch
This section is for those people who haven't actually used Digg actively before.
• Set up an account on Digg using the same pseudonym and avatar as you use with MyBlogLog and other networks.
• Visit one of your favorite blogs where you often leave comments, and where the owner occasionally has some moderate Digg success. You are only really looking for stories that get 10 or 20 Diggs.
A good example is my recent story on Stumbleupon which has so far received 24 diggs.

You will often recognise:-
• The owner of the blog (though didn't submit their own content)
• Regular readers of the blog
• Readers of other blogs which you often frequent
Many users use the same screen name and avatars for all social networking, including MyBlogLog, thus whilst you might not immediately recognise names, you will recognise avatars.
If you are a regular reader of my blog, I am sure you will recognise many of the names, and if not, at least the avatars.
The ones you recognise the most you have probably seen on more blogs that you read, and thus have similar tastes in content. They are ideal people to add as friends, and if they recognise you, they might friend you back.
Reciprocating Friendships
Whilst people often add lots of friends, they don't always remember to reciprocate, or sometimes even know how to check whether someone has friended them who they know.
