You make an excelent point. I always though that posting links of your own content was wrong, but now you have completely changed my mind. It is definatly a practice that should not be abused, but the beauty of these services is that if you are posting shit it will be burried anyway. By your definision of "blogspamming" (which I 100% agree with) these ppl are just comiting plagiarism and if cought should be banned from the community.

This all makes complete sense. I am new to digg/reddit and I would have thought original content would be the only thing people want to see. Why bother with a yahoo re-post of a news story I read anyway?

P.S. As a new viewer of digg/reddit but a longtime blogger, I think reddit is better. People have posted my stuff on here and it gets seen ... on digg it is seen for 5 minutes and then gets washed away by new posts or those guys who have the super-powered ability to get noticed.

You are absolutely right. Next question: Is any website doing waht you propose to be done (and we all find reasonable)?
