Digg Test: Apple Should Hire Paris Hilton

March 5th, 2007

Paris HiltonSo this is funny - blogger Didn’t You Hear took up my suggestion that if you wanted a front page Digg, write a post with a link bait title like: Top Ten Reasons Why Apple Should Hire Paris Hilton.

It’s a funny post, plus there are tons of pictures, some custom-made. This increases the diggability greatly. I might have added the thought: “Apple iPhone: So easy to use, even Paris gets it.”

Right now it’s at 5 diggs. I’m keeping an eye on this one.

Disclosure: The above reference to “Paris” could be Paris the city, Paris Gellar from Gilmore Girls, ParisLemon the blogger, or Paris Hilton. I have no financial relationship with any of them.

    Thanks for the link. I liked your idea so much, I figured I might as well do it and see if it works. I actually Photoshopped every image but the Carl’s Jr. one to give each one a little Apple flavor, so see if you can spot the changes. I like the iPhone reference, and was going to add something similar, I’m just pretty sure Paris is hooked to her Sidekick like life support, so I left that one out. Thanks again though.

    Cool. We’ll see what happens. It took me a while to find the right combination of clickability, humor, and sheer stupidity to get a front page digg.

    Rats, it petered out at 14 diggs. Well, that’s actually pretty good for a first attempt!

    Hah, that was a funny one, man. I think it is missing “Paris Hilton teaches how to use an iBuzz.” :)
