In my working in sports media and athletics public relations, I focused my Digg Reader content on news around the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) conference within NCAA Division II.
While looking over the content of all 12 schools within the CCAA, I noticed a few important details:
- Articles posted on UCSDTritons.com don't pull the teaser text and the story photo into the Digg Reader.
- Each athletic media relations department takes a different approach to which headline words they capitalize and also the style of headline writing certainly varies.
- The quality of the photography also varies depending on the school and in one particular case - San Francisco State - the use of social media accounts within the headline seems like a new approach to that implementation,

Q1: Is Digg Reader more or less beneficial than Twitter?
A1: I think they are both useful for different purposes. I like reading articles through Digg Reader because I know that I'm looking at only the articles posted on those specific sites. Although I could create a list on Twitter, I'd still see a lot of other social media info that doesn't link directly to the web sites' stories.
Q2: How will you use Digg Reader in the future?
A2: I'd like to set up a few different Digg Reader categories so I can delve into a wide range of topics while not limiting myself to just the CCAA sports news. Since my Twitter and regular browsing usage might be scattered, I think Digg Reader could bring me a more focused approach.
