600 page manual is in the process of being released. So far page 1 is complete.

JamCan · #12 (**permalink**) 04-07-2008, 03:54 PM

LOLOL that sounds like the Tshirt drama. What are you guys on page 5 of that??

Ducani · #13 (**permalink**) 04-07-2008, 04:09 PM

Domo dont exagerate we are still working on page 1 of the womanual.

Ok here goes my attempt of an explanation:

Furl, Digg, Delicious etc are social bookmark sites. So if there are pages/websites on the web that you like you can bookmark them with these sites and eventually you will have your favorite forum posts or threads etc saved for your viewing pleasure.

What also happens is other people see your bookmarks and if they are interested in the title or your comments they will visit the site hence more traffic to JamaicaTalk.

In some cases these sites produce so much traffic for the sites that people bookmark that their servers crash (best case scenario, kinda. Oh and if people like your bookmark they can vote it up which makes it more popular and can even lead to it being on the homepage of Digg for example.

Sites making it to the homepage of digg usually get RIDICULOUSLY high traffic from Digg. I know of some sites getting 65,000 and upwards visitors in one day from being on Digg's homepage and im sure some have received even more.

Point being if you like a thread or a post DIGG IT, or use one of the other ones. I personally prefer Digg but they are all good.

I hope that clears it up.

DOMOOOOOO I finished the second paragraph of page 1 of the manual. Were getting close bredrin. Just 599.9 pages left.
