Have you ever heard of TechCrunch’s “Elevator Pitches?” I had not, until yesterday afternoon when the CEO of Yovia came down from his top floor, magnificent view, warm and cozy with an espresso machine, office and asked for my help to record a video. Excited by the prospect of stepping away from my computer and relaxing my bloodshot and tired eyes for a moment I jumped up and followed him upstairs.
He was going to record a video to submit to TechCrunch Elevator Pitches describing Yovia. I listened in awe at the grander picture. Listening to him speak, I thought to myself, “He did it! We are exactly what and where he’d always promised he would take us.”
Don’t forget to Check out the Video!
It seems that the small blogger is stuck in his cubicle unable to climb the corporate digg ladder. Why?
Day to day the digg top stories come from the same blogs and websites with very large existing communities. Will there ever be a Cinderella story for the little guy and Digg? Honestly, my gut says no. Even if you reach the top, you run the risk of a ‘front page fascist’ reporting you as spam. My blogger conspiracy theorists think that the large existing community doesn’t want the small blogger to climb the digg ladder and destroy their reputation.
My advice is to find other avenues. Other social media and bookmaking sites such as “STUMBLEUPON” can drive as much if not more traffic than digg.
From one blogger to another your biggest concern always needs to be quality, regardless if your golden piece of content reaches the front page or not.
