The ‘Digg effect’ on the Collective.

It was bound to happen, even though we were invite only and there was no way to get into the collective without an invite from an existing member the Collective got dug, and then dug again, and then dug some more. We even made it into the top 10 with 947 diggs.

It all started when a Digg member called scrag_10 started a group called, you guessed it, ‘Digg’ and started handing out invites on digg.com. Those that accepted the invites posted their own and so on. In the 3 days that followed we gained 1,554 members as a direct result of the invites they shared.

But what are these Diggers doing on the collective?

• 645 have joined the Digg group
• Collectively they have played 7,258 games
• Sent 118 PM’s
• And posted 354 shouts

Although 422 have yet to play a game on the site, 443 have played 5 or more with one Digger playing 65 games, which is quite impressive as the average game time is 15minutes!

Even more crazy is that if we take the average game time and the number of games Diggers have played, collectively they have spent 1,814.5 hours in a game, that’s over 75 days!

All good things must come to an end it seems, the Digger join rate peaked at 882 members on the 19th and was down to 119 on the 20th. Still, Digg has a pretty big presence on the Collective now accounting for 12% of the current membership, Digg tastic!

And of course, you can Digg this article.
