Tom approached me about looking into setting up a Newgrounds Digg team. Basically we're looking for some people to post a Digg about something new on NG, Flash, Audio, etc, and then we'd have member of the NG Digg team Digg it to try and boost its visibility.

So for starters we will need some head NG Digg Team members that are familiar with how Digg works and know how to properly post Diggs. Once a new Digg is posted, probably in the early morning if possible, the NG Digg Team poster would submit a link to it here for the NG Digg Team members to go Digg it.

Hopefully by doing this we can help drive more traffic to the better content on the site and give our Flash and Audio artists more exposure.

So we will start with applications for the NG Digg team and I will then assign you a member #, maybe some kind of rank, etc.

To apply to be a poster leave a link to your Digg profile, how much experience you have with Digg, how often you could post a Digg for NG, how early you could post it in EST, etc.
javascript:BBSPost.Save();
To apply to be a member to help Digg the posts leave your Digg profile and how often you would be able to monitor this topic, or the NG Digg Team posters, and Digg their posts.

Please stay on topic. Anyone who posts off topic comments, makes rude remarks, etc, will be promptly banned, or worse. >:)

Really interesting idea Wade. I think it would be a great way to boost traffic here. But I was wondering...
I don't currently have a Digg profile, but I know how it works and have visited it on a number of occasions, but I'd still like to be a part of this. Could I be on the upvoting team, (after creating an account of course) or are you looking for already experienced Diggers?

Digging is a good way to spread word about interesting things. I could join. I frequent the site, but never thought of making a profile. I've create one now, here's the link:

Linky.

I'll try to do my best in helping this club.

Same here. I can easily make an account and be part of the up-voting team with TheNossinator, if that's fine.

Anyone who applies will be a member and welcome to help upvote. We may have limited slots for posters, but maybe if we get a bunch of posters I can PM different posters on different days to post things so it doesn't look like just one digg member is spamming a bunch of NG stuff. :P

Or we'll have some regular posters, and some side posters. Once they complete their post they will link to it here for the upvoters to upvote.

Then maybe you shouldn't join?

Seriously kids, this is a SERIOUS EFFORT TO HELP NG!!! If some of you are going to try to join this just to join yet another club and not actually be part of the effort, I strongly advise you don't even try here. This more serious then your average club, so follow rules and be helpful or like Wade says, bad things will happen to you. :)

Sorry if I typed Digg too much, haha. You can join, but you need to set up a digg.com account. Basically someone will post about something on NG (like a news story) and the digg team will all DIGG it. The more Diggs something has the more visible it becomes to other Digg users.

I'm calling it a night, but keep the applications coming. Be sure to include how often you can check in and help Digg posts, and if you are experience on Digg and want to help post things related to NG.

Here is a rough member list so far:

I would gladly help out. I'm somewhat familiar with Digg, haven't been as active as I use to be back in early 2008.

Digg Profile

My first account was created in February 2008. I have done a lot of digging and comenting, but never actually posted a Digg. I did do something similar for this literature board though. I wrote up a short story on their forums, which the admin then linked to using Digg.

I usually don't go online until 4:00pm (9:00pm if working) on weekdays. I'm on the computer daily, so it isn't much of a hassle for me to visit and Digg frequently.

Wait, so is this going to be the average admin-kind of permanent group, or is this going to be the usual kind of club where people still will be allowed to join gradually?

I don't think this is too off-topic, but oh well.

PM me for a sig or go here.

I've been been digging stuff there for over two years now. Although lately I've been rather selective on what to digg. But I'll try and help out the NG community as much as possible (as a digger).

But if by "Digg" you mean to say...

"Hey Tom...look at this Awesome Flash"

I already do that with Tom Fulp, and Mc...

And sure enough...they get front page or land in their favorite's page.

Being a Digg member means being more active in the Flash Portal or looking through old stuff right?

Well...I just do that casually....I think that if the WHOLE NG community acts as a Digg...

Special "Points" can be rewarded to those individuals....and not just a TEAM.

Kinda like the Whistle Status.

Only instead...they are "Digg" Points.

I've been more active over at Digg than here lately. I'd love to help out and digg NG stuff!

My profile
I have been going to digg since about 2005, I had to make a new account since they don't allow name changes (not like that should matter).

I'll keep this topic bookmarked.

I think it's a fantastic idea! I also know that having people check up on here is going to be a rather bad way to keep people informed.

If I may suggest.

Cool list, the free mailing list

Using a free mailing list like this (or perhaps if NG has such capability using that) and letting members sign up for it would be far more beneficial then expecting them to come check up on this thread every week or whatever. Let's face it, that's not a good way to keep people.

With a mailing list like this, posters (all posters would be given account details so they can write the posts) can send out an email to users who would then simply have to click on the link and dig. Instantly notified on their own turf.

After that really this thread becomes only as a recruitment center, and keeps things less reliant on it. With Wade's newspage getting loads of views having a sign up link there with a mailing list, also explaining what the Digg team is for would have AMPLE more effect.

With that, i'm in.

I wouldn't mind being a Digger but not a poster. I doubt I'd be up early to make new posts.

I had been on Digg a good portion of the summer, but I have not visited there in a long while. I didn't participate in how the site works either, but I know how to do most everything on it.

I could check this probably once a day for now and later on in a few weeks, a few times a day to upvote or post new NG diggs.

I've had one for awhile now,
I visit digg religiously, and haven't had the best of luck in submitting, but we can't all be like mrbabyman, can we?

I'm not so sure how much exposure digg will give to newgrounders...
Digg visitors don't seem the type to frequent NG...
They prefer tech sites and 4chan, so... yeah.
I donno, this could work.

I don't know exactly what you mean by how early we could post it, but I could do it pretty early...
Well, actually it would be late probably
The majority of submissions happen mid-day anyway so that would be the best time

I'd be honoured to be on your team.

right...
