Since my first post on Digg several weeks ago, I have been adding contacts on Digg like crazy. Just this morning, I added ten people that had been fans. But adding all these contacts has added a ton of email to my in box. I am receiving shouts from everyone. Many are great, but some are downright spammy. I also have noticed more than one complaint in the comments of Diggs were people are complaining about Shout Spam.

I really don’t mind it, because I do have a choice. I can Digg it or I can ignore it. If I receive too many spammy shouts, I have found myself responding to those Diggers less frequently.

My Advice, limit your shouts to quality links, and only pass on quality links to your network.

Thats all my ranting for today. What do you think, do you like the Shout feature? How do you use or abuse it?

Five notable Diggs for the week:

• Satisfaction or Frustration, How would You Describe Your Sex Life? from AskDanandJennifer.com .
• A cool video about base jumping with a wing suit had me wanting to try it, but then I saw another video that was posted in the comments about a Jump turned bad.
• A positive guest post by Alex Shalman about choosing to have good or bad thoughts, which was posted on Dumblittleman.com.
• An interview of top bloggers who answered a question about how they would promote their blog off line. Lots of great info in the top bloggers answers.
• A Warren Buffet Interview Post…Warren Buffet was interviewed on CNBC and offers some advice for young.

Those are my five Notable Diggs for this week. I now have 91 friends in my network, and the emails keep coming in.

Note to self:Get an email just for Digg.

I had a really weird week has just past. I was lucky to get two posts in on Thursday. Were the time went I have not a clue.

I did do quite a bit of Digging, and I now have over 75 friends in my Digg network. I have learned that I need to not respond every time I get a shout from a fellow Digger. Although I do admit I found more than one groovy post. Here are some of the Diggs that I noted.

• What Makes us Happy by Anja Merret

Is the freedom of choice making you unhappy?

• Discover The Edu Underground on Lifehacker.com, which also resulted in me joining Lifehacker.
• Tip use site:.edu “insert subject here” to come up with Edu related sites
• The first of many Al Gore related Diggs I came across pointed me towards DraftGore.com, were I signed a petition to persuade Al Gore to run for President.
• Found a cool tool that allows you to track your Digg comments.
• And one of the last Diggs I noted on my Notepad doc was a Digg from Aaron which led me to Steve Olson’s Why You should Never Give up On a Troubled Youth post.

Goals for Next Week:

• Limit my time on Digg, by only Digg 1-2 times per day.
• 3-4 posts on Pixelheadonline.com
• Go to gym 3-4 times.
• Drink 8 glasses of water a day.

Have a good week, and stop by and say hi. If you have a site you want me to Digg, let me know, I’ll try and check it out.
