Thing 6: Digg, Reddit...[et al].

1. How can you use Digg to collect research for your next report or design project?
I can use Digg to recommend sources or if my audience want's more information I can say "Well, this is a really great source here, it had five stars". Another way I could use Digg as a research source would be combining Digg with the RSS Feed (Net Vibes).

2. How can you use Digg to establish your reputation and credibility?
When other's see what I have gathered when they look at my archive, and what I rate highest they may agree with me and think to themselves that I have good judgement and that would raise my reputation. I would establish my credibility when others look at what I have rated and when they agree with my ratings.


3. How can you connect your other social media circles to Digg and increase your popularity?
You can link other sites to Digg so you not only increase your popularity, but you would have everything all in one place if you were to link Digg to your Net Vibes page and everything would be a lot more convenient.

4. Reddit is using Twitter. Discuss what combining the experience means to you in terms of saving your oh so 'precious time'?
I think this is interesting and convenient. Kind of what I said in question #3. It's convenient and that obviously saves my 'precious time' but I also think it is usefull in that if I were blogging in twitter then I could refer to something in Digg and it would combine all together (link).

5. How can you ensure that information on an open source website like Reddit is credible?
Ummmm it's called 'SOURCES' and 'BIBLIOGRAPHY'. =]

6. Who's crazier; old shaggy-haired Kate or the 'new' Kate with the 80's sk8er punk haircut?

hahaaaa! Kate kind of reminds me of myself, well in the 'mommy' aspect. Idk if that's good or bad.

7. Have you ever seen a photograph of Jon Gosselin when he wasn't wearing an Ed Hardy shirt? Is that all he owns or what?
It's cause he thinks he's a 'balla, shot calla, 20 inch blades on the impala!, a calla gettin laid tonight"
