Now that Digg has banned half of North America, I am proposing a new game for us banned folks with the number 666 tatooed on our foreheads. Just come back as another person. I’m pretty sure this is being done already, but let me be the first to go out on a limb here and make it public.

And why not? What’s wrong with coming back to Digg with a different user name? It’s not like it’s not easy to do. I mean how many computers can I get into with a different IP address since I work at a college with hundreds of different computers on site. And do I even need to feel bad about hiding my identity? Absolutely not! They aren’t my rules, and besides, Digg members work for free, and Digg is getting rich so why should I care about a new name on Digg?

So that brings up a different topic for Digg. What if I am a banned Digger and get back on Digg and try to make friends with my old friends again? Do I tell them who I am? Absolutely not! Well, shouldn’t I let my old friends know who I am or at least try to let them know it’s me? I am going to say no. If they guess, maybe, but don’t volunteer anything. And that brings me to a very good point about Digg anyway. When someone is asking you to be freidns on Digg, remember, they may be an old friend coming back to life. Be nice to them.

Maybe there should be a secret password to let the friend know you are a “Digg Zombie”. Let me go on record as saying a Digg Zombie is a person who was on Digg before and got banned and came back to Digg in another life. The secret code word then is ZOMBIE!

So the next time someone wants to be your friend on Digg, be careful, it just might be a zombie coming for you! (smile)
