Tag-Sum to Edge Out Digg!

I have been using DIGG as my aggregator for posts written for quite sometime now and i must say that the benefits have not been readily apparent as i had wished.Futhermore the pages nowadays frequently return an error message meaning that their system must be getting clouded due to the increasing volume of usage!As it stands if you are a budding blogger and are just starting out, DIGG may just not be the aggregator of choice as you will be burried under the too many users.

DIGG works on popularity and new users have an uphill task notwithstanding the quality of blog posts it therefore is extremely necessary for a competitor to emerge with a product that will provide value and be easier to use!Im still at lose as to how to effectively use the DIGG shouts i prefer the south African muti.co.za instead !).I have found Tag sum.com to be the ultimate rival for DIGG and its catching up rapidly.Its easier to submit articles through Tag-Sum and they have a facility whereby one can generate and share revenue for google ads on the pages they have submitted and shared on the site.Isnt that cool.I encourage African bloggers to take advantage of tag sum now before it gets blotted.Interestingly the multi millionaire pro blogger John Chow http://www.johnchow.com/ generated immense traffic and became popular due to DIGG but he made use of it at its onset it therefore stands to reason if one takes an early advantage tag sum ,their blog may just gain enough traffic to make it relevant in thi rapidly growing and robust internet industry
