Digg Submission

Here is a story about Megan Fox which I submitted on Digg:


http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/megan-fox-shares--funny-wild-west-family-picture-from-childhood-201391

It shows Megan's childhood picture.

I digged the article because I think it is interesting. It has never been shown before in the public. It is suitable for digging because it is news that are relaxing but are also interesting. 
It shows Megan and her family in funny Wild West dress which doesn't happen often online. It has Megan Fox's pictures all over it and so it attracts a male audience and people who are curious about what is happening to Megan Fox lately. People who like gossip would also like to know information like this. 

Therefore, when I see this article on US Magazine's website, I digged it immediately. It is not often that people see childhood pictures of a celebrity. It suits the Digg environment, it is rare to see her childhood photos and I think it is very interesting and it is also not a heavy news story.


Digg is good for posting information that are not too heavy. There was a video podcast called Diggnation which picks out stories which are funny or interesting. It was presented by the founder of Digg Kevin Rose and partner Alex Albrecht. They present celebrity stories or interesting stories like coverage about Apple products. They also drink a lot on the show. After they drank, they are more relaxed and made the stories more interesting when they present them. It shows that Digg is good for reading about gossip or funny news. Its atmosphere is made to be relaxing and not for rigorous journalism.
