Someone finally says its like it is. Social media is no magic pill that can transform your success online. You have to work at it and participate in it for true success.

Social media can be really hard work. You need good content, right timing, and friends to help digg or vote for your content. I personally like stumbleupon now and have been using it regularly now rather than digg (although they are different concepts) and it is lot more fun.
A great post I noticed about secretaries demonstrating in central London on http://www.secretarialblog.co.uk has failed to be picked up by any social media sites despite have a great story / pictures. A great post that should do well but probably won’t.

I was under the impression it was supposed to be much better than that… but I’ve never hit the homepage so who knows?

StumbleUpon is not a social news site. That completely misinterprets this service. SU is about social browsing and discovery. I agree with you on Digg though. It sucks for most people. They will never succeed there. Digg prefers a small elite of powerusers. Everybody else will get no traffic.
