Thanks for letting me know, Melanie -- glad to hear that the Digg thing isn't just a stunt.

Katie Couric and CBS news are doing some really innovative things in social media. Eric Kuhn, their social media consultant, is pointing them in the right direction. Katie is sincere about learning about social media, as she explained last spring while meeting with leading mommy bloggers and me, the Savvy Auntie. Good for her!

Thanks for the comment, Amrita -- I agree. Still, I guess Katie should get some points for trying.

Hi Matthew,
I agree with you - she doesn't seem to be someone who really understands what Digg is (didn't she have someone else write her blog at one point?) but I guess she gets an A for effort? Would have been more interesting if it were a more authentic, avid, yet high-profile Digg user making the pitch.
