Why Social Bookmarking is Killing the Internet AKA Death by Digg

Social Bookmarking Feeding FrenzySocial bookmarking sites are killing off the Internet one web page at a time. In a rush to post relevant and note-worthy content to attract readers and, hopefully, make some cash in the process, blogger’s are also laying the groundwork for their blogs’ untimely death.

Social bookmarking is like a swarm of locusts. A nice, hot, and juicy “post-worm” pops its slimy little head out of the ground and the locusts swarm to the post — devouring all content and bandwidth in its path. Then, as quickly as they came, they’re gone — off to feed on the next post.

It’s a never-ending cycle of post-swarm-devour. Leaving nothing but a desolate dust bowl and an apology for exceeding their hosting bandwidth.

Blogger’s of the world be forewarned, if you dare to post, you dare to die. Or at least you dare to spend more, and more, and more money on hosting fees. [Insert shameless plug for cheap web hosting and domain registration (aff) ]

Please DO NOT DIGG this post. I am a man of meager means and my blog does not deserve such an unpleasant death.
