Definitely shared. Getting dugg is like a one night stand, fun, potentially awesome but potentially awful whereas being being shared is like engaging in a LTR where transgressions (linkbait and fluff pieces) are somewhat forgiven.

Shared, shared shared. I don't especially like shouts, or messages from Mixx recommending I vote something up. And I feel cheap when I ask people to mixx or digg something for me.

What about Like'd? On a more practical note though, being shared probably has the benefit that traffic ramps up more organically, less likely to bring down your site :)

I am gonna go with shared...im more into the sharing scene with google reader and rssmeme/readburner then I am into the whole digg thing.

If I HAD to choose, GR sharing is way better. The pros far outweigh the cons for me. Especially the point you make about the conversations (especially the intimate ones) developing -- that's more important to me than the potential for a lot of pageviews.

i'd rather have my items stumbled. new audience, more long-term visitors, and maybe new readers that never knew i existed.

Shaun I should've added that in too! Bummer.
