Nashville, TN May 24, 2008 -- The power of social bookmarking sites has becomeundeniable over the past two years. Having a story land on the front page of a sitelike Digg.com can generate thousands of hits an hour for someone's Web site.However, as sites like Digg continue to grow, it has become more and more difficultfor story submissions to become popular. So now users are looking to sites likeBitFU.com to take them where the larger sites can no longer go.
"On the most popular sites like Digg, a story can literally get lost in a flood ofsubmissions," says Bit Fu spokesman, David LaFlair. "It's more like the lottery nowthan anything else. A user submits their story and just hopes it can make it to thetop. Most of the time the content and quality of the submission doesn't matter inthe least."
And it's because of this unforeseen consequence of becoming popular in the socialbookmarking world that users are looking for alternatives. Sites like Bit FU notonly give users a chance to be seen by everyone, they're also more flexible when itcomes to submission guidelines. They want you to say whats on your mind.
"The larger sites have become politically correct," says LaFlair. "If someonesubmits a story with an objectionable point of view, it's almost guaranteed thattheir story will be deleted. That's not the route we want to take Bit Fu down. . .wewant your content, regardless of the topic. Everyone is welcomed." Bit FU Cofounder- Brandon Hatch says "Years ago, the internet was all about free speech. These daysthe internet seems to be more about politics and people being afraid of saying howthey really feel. We believe in Americas first amendment and our ability to havefree speech regardless of where your walk of life is from."
