Digg is very much dominated by liberals. However, that should not stop NB from attempting to contribute to the Digg community. If we give up the battle without a fight then we've already lost the war.

It is very hard to get a conservative story on the front page of Digg but it can be done. We've got to encourage more conservatives to register and start voting on Digg.

I often digg stories from NB even without a digg button. It can be done. It's just easier with the digg button. I registered on Digg back in November I believe and just do what I can along with a few other conservatives to get the word out. We get beaten down often and buried but we keep trying. It's simply incredible the lack of tolerance they have to all things conservative.

Something that might be done on NB is an article on the non-partisanship of Digg or at the least the overwhelming presence of liberals and their dominance of the site along with examples of their hate speech! There's one guy on there - "AdmiralAdama" who constantly posts articles on muslim extremism and islamic activities and folks continually accuse him of racism and such.

The love of Islamic fundamentalism is equivalent to the love of it on Youtube.

The situation is bad at Digg but we should do what we can. I don't know if placing stories on Digg would bring more folks to NB, but it certainly can't hurt.

It is an example of the left using technology better than the right, but that shouldn't steer our course. Our course should be set by what is right - and that would be meeting the left on their own ground.

I can't count the number of times, I see a leftist bury a conservative article just because it came from FOX or Malkin's site. They consider it spam or simply unreliable and will state so and then bury it.

NB is a great site, but I think NB should include a number of things to improve it and go to the next level in terms of the blogosphere and such.

This is definitely one of my top five sites.

I know this comment is somewhat convoluted but my ISP is running slow - again.

IMO this is yet another example of the left better using technology than the right.

I thought it was a case of leftists having more time with nothing better (or productive) to do. I have a job, family, church, community, and a full-time wife. Oh yeah, and I have to play tennis several times a week.

If it's not the Crusades, it's the cartoons

It is a lonely world as a conservative on Digg. Actually, I have a lot of fun. The loony-toon left has almost a stranglehold on the popular articles but a few honest stories get through.

The diggerals hate George Bush as much as Osama does, and their enraged diatribes are often very amusing.

I would vote to put a digg button on NB submissions. More conservatives actively participating in liberal domains is a good thing.

Matt, I must disagree that the left has a better understanding of technoology the those of us on the right. It pretty much comes down to the old - follow the money! You see, the leftards ususally are on the dol (sic) - unemployment, while the rest of us need to be at work, to support our families and those on unemployment. So, you see, they have the time to the techno dances and are able to delete or stuff the ballot boxes, so to speak, of sites that go against their twisted veiew of the world. Being realistic, would you like to lose the freebies? They may be stupid in the ways of the world and reality, but they ain't dumb.

There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dad V

The left is way beyond the right in their ability to manipulate technology for their gain. At the moment, they have the upper hand. More leftists are politically active on the Internet than are those of us on the right.

We can change it, but it will take some time to see the momentum shift.
