I've always struggled a bit with the question, "how can Fedora marketing

It's a tough thing sometimes, even figuring out what the precise Fedora
message is. We've got some talking points, and they're valid enough,
but amplifying that message can be tough as well.
So I've been thinking about really organizing to support the stories
that *we* think are important -- specifically, getting organized on
Digg. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
* * *
The proposal: Use Fedora-marketing-list to communicate about Digg-able
stories. How?
* f-m-l members could create Digg accounts, if they don't have them
already.
* f-m-l members could look for breaking stories already on Digg
(http://digg.com/linux_unix/upcoming) or, if they find a good story,
they could submit it themselves (http://digg.com/submit).
* f-m-l members could then post the URL of the story to f-m-l.
Something in the title, maybe, like "DIGG: Fedora 7 Test 1 Released."
(Making sure not to dupe stories and split our efforts.)
* When a Digg hits f-m-l, members should go check the story out. If it
seems like a good Fedora story, digg it.
* Be ready to join the discussions around these Dugg stories.
I like the idea but we should be careful about doing this.
I've been a lurker on digg for quite a while, and the one thing that
diggers hate (maybe even more than spam!) is when there is a concerted
effort to digg stories up by a group of people who are "promoting"
something.
This could turn into a very bad idea...
Just a warning,
