Nashville, TN May 24, 2008 -- The power of social bookmarking sites has become undeniable over the past two years. Having a story land on the front page of a site like 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 difficult for story submissions to become popular. So now users are looking to sites like BitFU.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 of submissions,\" says Bit Fu spokesman, David LaFlair. \"It\'s more like the lottery now than anything else. A user submits their story and just hopes it can make it to the top. Most of the time the content and quality of the submission doesn\'t matter in the least.\"
And it\'s because of this unforeseen consequence of becoming popular in the social bookmarking world that users are looking for alternatives. Sites like Bit FU not only give users a chance to be seen by everyone, they\'re also more flexible when it comes to submission guidelines. They want you to say whats on your mind.
\"The larger sites have become politically correct,\" says LaFlair. \"If someone submits a story with an objectionable point of view, it\'s almost guaranteed that their story will be deleted. That\'s not the route we want to take Bit Fu down. . .we want 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 days the internet seems to be more about politics and people being afraid of saying how they really feel. We believe in Americas first amendment and our ability to have free speech regardless of where your walk of life is from.\"
How Bit FU is Helping Site Owners Advertise for Free
\"Bit FU is a great way to get targeted visitors to your site,\" says LaFlair. \"You simply create a free account and submit your story, Bit FU does the rest. Only a portion of the story will be displayed and when a surfer wants to read the entire article they have to click on it, which leads them to your site. It truly is a win-win situation for anyone looking for a free way to gain a few extra targeted visitors to their site.\"
