Two weeks ago I posted a blog about whether or not to publish an interview we conducted with one of Digg’s top users. The response I got, as I expected, was mixed. I received any emails and comments encouraging me to publish the interview, and as many angry emails and comments telling me not to publish it.

The other consideration we had was with the top user. They had a lot of concerns around a community backlash if we proceed with publishing the post.

I see several options on the table: publish the interview to our RSS subscribers or our mailing list, publish it on our blog in full, or skip publishing the interview all together.

After talking with the team and the top digg user, we’ve decided to move forward and publish the interview in full on our blog. We will publish the interview this coming Tuesday 9/4/2008.

I’ll check your blog at that time, but I’m pretty sure about some of the answers… here is what I think the answers could look like.. I could be 100% wrong but I’m giving it a shot :) The questions are from the last post about this interview.

So, as one of Digg active and powerful users, what kind of services have been able to provide to outside companies?
I’m helping them to propagate some of their best piece of content with the help of social media

How much do you charge for these services?
This one is a good question… I really don’t know.. I guess something like 50$ just for the front page of digg ? Maybe 100$ ?
If his services includes more strategies, then it would change the price of course…

Is it typical of the top Digg users to provide services or charge for them?
I’ll go with at least 50% of the 10 top Digg users… Or else, how could they afford to be on digg all the time ?

Do you feel like you are cheating the Digg community?
No because I only work with companies with great content.
