Ask HN: How to get diggs?

2 points by pantsd 16 years ago | 0 comments

I'm currently trying to promote http://digg.com/security/Art_JavaScript_Privacy_Collage_of_sites_you_visit_NYT , its got about 3 hours left and I'm wondering what I should to do attempt to promote it? I understand digg is a very different community than HN but I figured there might be some cross-over and people with more experience would know what I should do. So far all I've done is e-mail my friends and the local computer science club.

Why bother ? Seriously, digg is just about the worst place to promote anything serious.

You're much better of finding niche sites that are really looking for your stuff than to try to make the homepage on a site that everybody and their little brother is trying to game.
