Maybe it’s me. I thought that I had a funny submission that was Digg-worthy. So, I Dugg it and I only got one other Digg, from a mate. A gratuitous ‘sympathy’ Digg.

DiggI mean, everyday there are stupid, quirky submissions to the Digg community that get hundreds, if not thousands of Diggs. And if I see one more horrendously popular Digg of the ‘Top 7′ things that I didn’t know about something… well… for [expletives] sake!

Anyways, this is how my Digg went down…

A buddy of mine contacted me and asked me what those South American animals that look half-sheep, half-llama are called. Initially, I said ‘shellama’. Yeah, wasn’t that funny. So, I did a Google search for ‘alpacker’ (I know that I mispelt it, it should be spelt ‘alpaca’). But the following results were shown:

Google search results for 'alpacker'

Google search results for 'alpacker'

In between the cute, furry animals is Al Packer from the South Australian Government’s Facilities Services Management Team. Our mate Al is a Senior Facilities Manager.

With no intention to be disrespectful to Al, I submitted the ‘alpacker’ piccie to Digg in the ‘Pets & Animals’ category entitled ‘An Al Packer’. Then, I sat back and waited for the Diggs to roll in. Which they didn’t.

I know that the submission is not that funny. But the point is, a lot of Digg submissions are not that funny.

So, why? What’s the secret? Why do some stupid Diggs get a good showing while others, like mine, don’t see the light of day?
