Thanks for the balanced approach. I would also add that with sites such as Digg and Reddit, one or two friends submitting a story is not going to result in a top placement on either of these sites. Having someone submit your story or blog entry only gets you in the race, it doesn't in any way guarantee a win. Other users of these services will have to see value in the content to push it up to the top. This is a great article. Thanks for the balanced approach.

Lee Odden did a great article on "The Currency of Social Networks" at http://www.toprankblog.com/2007/11/currency-social-networks/ this is another good example of how important the use of friends is in the Social Media shpere.

The whole premise of “social” media is that, Social. Everyone that submits content to these sites, such as digg or others will tell one or more people that they have placed new content up. That’s how you get the word out about new content. So if the logic of thinking is if I email my friends and tell them to digg my article is wrong. Then you’re basically saying the foundation of “social” media is flawed, and I would have to disagree with that.

I think this can be taken back to when you were in high school. There is always going to be clicks of people. Some people are popular “The Jocks & Cheerleaders” while some are out casted and not very popular “The Loners”. A online social society is very much the same. You will have people that are more popular and can network more effectively, and you have others that just don’t have that skill.

So I think your hat is still white my friend.
