Why Digg for Browncoats?

Here's why...

In order to grasp the real reach Digg has here is some key information that may help show people it's true power, although one can really only see it after "living" through some of the major events over the years (one of the most recent being the leak of the AACS encryption key).

Registration:
Free
No need for personal information
Takes under a minute
No spam AT ALL (i've never recieved a single bit of spam due to Digg in over 7 years)

From Alexa:
Online Since: 20-Feb-2000
Overall Traffic Rank: 104 (this is pretty much rank among the entire the internet) (note: not a true "entire internet" sample)
Traffic Rank - Canada: 21
Traffic Rank - United States: 22
Traffic Rank - United Kingdom: 28
Links to Digg from other sites: 34,414

Google Rank: 3
YouTube Rank: 4
Wikipedia Rank: 9
BBC News: 42

Other Information:
Started by Kevin Rose (and 3 others), one of the old TechTV hosts (this bit should drum up some support... long live TechTV!)
"Digg Effect" - There has actually been a phrase coined just to describe the massive number of hits a site will take (and sometimes crash under) simply because it reached the front page on Digg.
Over 1,000,000 registered users

( This post is a verbatim copy of information that was compiled by my friend BoomShake007 from over on www.serenitymovie.org and I've posted it here so that folks can understand why I think promoting 'Verse related articles on Digg is such a good idea.)

We've started a team of diggers to digg articles regarding the 'Verse and BDH related articles. Charity articles ( Browncoat related! ) too.

Please join us. You can write me at followmal@gmail.com and I'll add you to the list and you'll receive emails when there is an article to digg, or you can join at
