Email spammers promote Digg stories

Filed under: social bookmarking, social mediaKevin Gibbons @ 1:31 pm

I’ve just received an email, below, to promote a Digg story. Social bookmarking is obviously a very successful method of promoting a website but its amazing the lengths some people go to for a few extra Digg votes. I’m actually quite interested in seeing how successful this particular entry is, it currently has 1 digg and I’m guessing it won’t get too many more!
