I have had a lot of success with Digg, I used my tricks to get a friend on the digg homepage only last week: http://www.carlocab.com/to-digg-thanks-for-the-useless-traffic-or-as-what-most-people-think/

I have to say that I am starting to look elsewhere for my daily fix though.

There is still the odd gem on there, but “needle” and “haystack” spring to mind.

I read through some of the comments and it looks like this girl was freed a while ago, and this post was released for less then news-worthy intentions. http://www.helpnazanin.com/ Interesting what people will do for attention. You are right that this kind of inflammatory title is pushing the envelope a little too far. Adding the "with PICS" sensationalizes something too cruel to even imagine. As someone on Digg said, "why would anyone want to see that?" Ah Dean, it's a sad world when bloggers sink so low!<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-40081">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> It definitely does look like the original post was taken down, and the whole blog is inaccessible as well, as you’ll see if you click on the link at Digg.

The story now has almost 2000 Diggs, and whilst I am glad that people are being made aware of this terrible crime, I don't condone the tactics used. Hey, if I think they have gone too far, then that must say something, as I like to push my titles a bit as well.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-40049">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Mary, I have updated.
