Help digg Kwok Talk on Digg.com!

So yesterday, I got the good news that Kwok Talk was now included in Digg's podcast listing. Now, I need help getting it up the charts. I've always just done this for fun and have generally been pretty content with the small audience the show's historically had, but I definitely feel like this is a great opportunity to get some spotlight on a website I truly enjoy with a user base that spans the globe.

Rarely have I asked for promotional help, but if you could, go to http://www.digg.com/podcasts/kwok_talk and "digg" the podcast (you may have to register first, but it is a site that I think you will be glad to be a part of). If you can get others to do so, more power to you. I'm hoping with enough diggs, the show can get enough of an initial push to attract attention from outsiders.

I'm sure not too many of you have listened to the podcast and if you feel like you can't support it in good conscience, that's totally fine. But if you like what I'm doing and want to give the podcast a little help, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Now on Digg.com!

Some great news today for the podcast!

Kwok Talk is now included on the Digg.com podcast listings. While the show is already on several podcast listings, I'm excited to be included on Digg just because it's a website that I personally recommend. If you haven't used Digg, it's a fantastic social bookmarking website that is completely user-driven for stories on everything for all current events. With their podcasting feature (now in beta), you can individually "digg" each episode you like and leave comments. Right now, you need to sign up for a profile to digg the episodes and leave comments, but it's definitely a site you should be checking out if you aren't already. One example of this is the James Kim tragedy, which was broken here days before it ever showed up on the major news networks.
