OMG, it's the diggaarS!
Diggaars. Na na, don’t think of it as some kind of burp-festival. Diggaars is actually something me and Hamad Dar came up with over on MSN.
Digg is a very powerful platform. Powerful enough to bring over a 100,000 visits within an hour to the content that is dugg. That is the kind of viewership budding blaagers could use.
The basic idea, requirement(s) and execution after the jump!
The basic idea is: This potential juggernaut of a traffic source is and will be very beneficial for the blaagers. But, and this is one huge butt, reaching the front page is very much rare for us blaagers with (usually) Pakistani content.
For this, we necessitate a network of diggers – Diggaars – who digg each others content (if they find it diggable, otherwise it would be illegal) and help each other reach the front page to receive extended diggage.
The basic requirment is: There will be only one requirement to be a Diggaar and that is to be a Pakistani Blogger: A Blaager basically. Of course, having a digg account (you can sync it with your Facebook) and a twitter profile will only help but as stated previously: you must be a blaager.
The objective, the gist, the main idea behind Diggaars To get digg-friendly blaagers-created content onto the Digg Front Page.
The basic execution will be: A Diggaar diggs his content. He/She tweets about it on Twitter. Other Diggaars go through the content, analyze it and digg + retweet the post if the diggaar find it’s deserving.
Diggaars is a project that depends solely on your support.

As Raza said, we already do that. People tweet the link to their post (sometimes adding ‘digg plz’), and if others find it useful, they submit it to dig, stumble upon etc.
I am not sure if people will be much interested in it if you make it sound like a task force
Just share what you think is worthy to be shared and let people decide what they want to do with it.

It’s not a task force. The old way of sharing links, expecting diggs and RTs is not effective.
With diggaars, it will be far more systematic and effective.

How do I find out if my content is being Digged (or Dugg?)

Go through that. To the left of the page, there should be a number, and below that “digg”. The number is the number of diggs you received.
