Last week, Digg launched version 4.0 of the popular social news website and I thought to myself that I might as well try it out.

When it comes to social media I really like to live my one rule WWMD (What Would Mashable Do?) and seeing how Mashable now have a massive banner at the top of the site with ‘Follow Mashable on the New Digg’ and being the preferable sheep, I thought ‘why not?’

So to fully embrace the Digg experience I’ve added a Submit to Digg button - Digg This O’ Mine and downloaded the Official iPhone app. I’ve also added a Digg button to the wonderful Wibiya toolbar.

Ultimately of course this whole exercise is a shameless way to attract more traffic, but with all types of social media you have to engage with it to properly reap the befits.

We’ll see how it goes but let me know if you’re a Digger (not sure if that’s the correct phrase or not) and I’m sure I’ll give you a little follow plus the odd Digg or two!
