The more you say Arrington the more you peg this as an edge case.
That said, Arrington follows his existing friends or things he's interested in. If you @ reply him he will read it but more than likely he won't respond to it. That's two problems then, 1) trying to prove you can be his friend and 2) getting him to react. If you're trying to be his friend a Twitter-Digg app is a pretty lame way of doing so. If you're trying to get him to react the simplest way is to send him compelling content or proposition.
- amichail 18y agoWhy is sorting out Arrington's inbox well a lame way of becoming his friend on twitter? BTW, another reason why you might upvote a message is because you would like to see Arrington's reply (assuming he will reply to it in public).
- alaskamiller 18y agoThe obvious privacy issues aside, that's pretty lame because you're not his real friend, you just want him to write or do something for you. How is moderating his messages going to establish some sort of friendship? That's creepy. Is he friends with top Diggers? And why is seeing someone reply to something even considered an incentive?
- amichail 18y agoI think it's an incentive in this forum. People sometimes vote up submissions because they would like to see Paul Graham reply.
- alaskamiller 18y agoI don't believe that is, or was, ever the intent. I could be wrong. Get a copy of pligg and drop in tweets and users and see what happens.
