Let’s say a reader decides to drop a feed, since he no longer finds the content interesting. But what if he comes across it again while surfing, and finds that he likes the newer entries?

It is like the perfume you smell before you kiss her hand. It is the aroma of that dish before you take a bite. It's what spells the difference from being dugg or not: Apparently some Digger......

Actually when you launched the top ten list of headlines, I put that to work right away in my sports blogs and it did wonders almost instantly around 200% views. (Thanks for that) But for digg, I am not sure about that. I was beaten by a pathetic headline post a number of times that only contained a redirect link to the product launching post but got the front page and dugged a thousand times, even though my technical post had everything there with analysis, etc and I was hours ahead of submission. Feeling hopeless, a week ago I started adding a lot of friends in digg and surprisingly, my posts get dug more and more as I added more friends into my account. I must agree with you on the headline.

Another one of your brilliant posts on Magnetic Headlines! Just a nagging doubt: In case of your Digg example, the one who got the most diggs, was he among the top Diggers? IMHO, some diggers get more votes than others simply because they are known to the community. Having said that maybe, they got to the top of the Digg ecosystem, precisely because they had great headlines... On all accounts, an excellent post!! Regards, Shri. Bravo!
