Congratulations to the Methuselah Foundationfor becoming the number one story on the Digg homepage! New CarryOn client, the Methuselah Foundation (more about MF below) was featured in a story by WIRED.com writer Alexis Madrigal last week. The story was submitted by mega-Digger MakiMaki (who is unaffiliated) and the joint CarryOn/Methuselah team reacted quickly to socialize the post online. What started with just a few Diggs soon moved to the top spot on Popular and Upcoming stories from the Health News section. A second wind of promoting the post via targeted Facebook, Eons.com, and email tactics led to a surge in people who really “Dugg” the story. Just a few short hours later the post was on a rapid ascent with hundreds of Diggs and it cruised past the Digg editorial team to become the most popular story on Digg.com! Since its time on the homepage the post has skyrocketed to 857 Diggs and 158 Comments from users. Check out the story from WIRED where the story has received an additional 71 user comments and let us know what you think!
