Digg Digg Is A Much Better Networking Plugin

Sociable and the other social bookmarking plugins were an excellent feature for Wordpress, and I installed them on every blog I own.  However, I found that very few visitors used them.  Part of it, I think, is because the buttons were kind of small and newbies didn’t quite know that they could link an article with social networking.

Over at one of my busier and more controversial blogs, I decided to try the Digg Digg plugin, which has bigger buttons and uses only the social networks that most non-technical people are familiar with … i.e., Digg, Facebook, Yahoo, Redditt and a couple others, all of which are optional.  The difference has been amazing.  I will need to go in and add up numbers, but my initial guess is that Facebook promotions have gone up by at least 200%,  perhaps even more.

The plugin allows you to pick and chose the networks you want to promote, and then place your buttons wherever you want in your post, arrange them vertically or horizontally, and configure the buttons beyond the “standard” social networking features.

If you want easier, user friendly social interaction at your blog, I suggest you give Digg Digg a try.  Simply install it from your “add plugins” feature in Wordpress.
