In honor of Digg registering its 1 millionth user, and Michael Arrington of TechCrunch fame owning up to having 10 accounts at Digg, how many Digg accounts do you have? I’ll admit to 6, be it 4 that haven’t been used in 6 months and 1 in a month. Comments can be left anonymously if you don’t want to be tied back to our confessional here at 901am, but let us know! How many accounts is enough to not be picked up for spamming Digg? Do you rotate your Digg accounts? do your sock puppets have cool names?

only 1
After reading Blackhat SEO’s blog I’m feeling like a fool to have only one. No wonder I can’t get dugg!
2, but only because I forgot the details of the other – was a long time in between diggs.
That’s what they all say Meg ;-)
Only one. msaleem.
Sorry, I am really boring – I have only one digg account, one care2.com account, one shoutwire account, one reddit account, one netscape account, one fark account.
So is this the reason only a few newsblaze.com stories make it to the front page and some stuff that seems like real garbage makes it big?
Well. I’m not changing! Like most of the posters above, I’m just going to be Mr Goody Two Shoes.
I can’t even begin to tell you home many Digg accounts I have! I would have to say at least a couple of hundred.
There was a time when I would just create a new Digg account rather than try and remember the password for the existing one. Then I tabulated them all into a notebook and use different ones for different things.
I find that if you use one account to focus on a particular issues (say politics) the submissions carry more weight. It also makes it harder for Digg to catch the gaming because the account does not cross polinate into other areas.
Cool article. With more cool comments! Well after this post and after the U/S stories, i beleieve that Digg is like our democracy – we believe that masses rule…but in fact a few people have all the power…. and the rest sitting in their couch and watching things going on…
