Digg should allow developers and content managers the option to not have their pages listed on Digg or other social sites. We all know that a front page listing on Digg could bring down a server and I’m sure there are people who really don’t want certain content from being Dugg. This could work for all social sites.

A simple META tag would work.

Search engines use a meta tag like this for excluding them:
meta name=”robots” content=”noindex, nofollow”

So, how about something like this for social sites:
meta name=”social” content=”nolisting”

What do you think?

Submit this to Digg and lets see what others have to say
