I don't think Digg has much value to most businesses. But don't write off social altogether. Many targeting opportunities exist within larger social networks. For example, participating in groups on LinkedIn or Facebook that focus on your industry can provide many benefits, such as recruiting and customer acquisition. Twitter can help you connect with individuals with a shared interest, too. And that can benefit your business enormously. I agree completely. I don’t think Digg has much value to most businesses.

Therefore, if your a small business it's not worth your time to draw large amounts of social media traffic unless its highly targeted.
