I've got a story on digg.com that no one is digging, even though I've put a lot of time and effort into it. I don't see why it isn't getting dugg, simply because it's a decent tutorial, the video has over 35,000 views on google video, and I've gotten a lot of good feedback.

I'm asking the good people of AnandTech to please digg the story.

Thank you

I don't like digg, it's just another way for some college nerds to make money, reinventing the wheel.

Ok, basically I created a video tutorial on how to change out an iPod Video LCD screen (actually I created 24 videos for fixing various problems on 5 different iPod Models (mini, 3rd & 4th gen, Photo, video)

Soon I'm going to be creating iPod nano tutorials.

It's basically free videos showing you how to fix and replace problems on your iPod so you don't have to pay other people to do it.

Other sites charge money for PDF files or pictures. I did the videos and I'm not charging for them.

I guess I figured it'd be a bigger story but apparently not.

I'm not even in college anymore so your philosophy isn't working in this instance.

I'm stuck between deciding if I want to fix iPods for a job (if I can make enough money to live off of it) or get a real job (and unfortunately there's 2 openings at a local hospital for their IT department)

I'm not talking about you Paulson, I'm talking about the guys who created the site.

It couldn't have been too bad, it was featured on the official google blog & geekbrieftv had a quick little snipet on it in a podcast (which I just found out about!)
