What you say is true. Having a post on Digg.com could definitely be a good source of link bait by having a ton of other people linking to your post which in the end, provides benefits.
The main gist of what I'm trying to say is that, there are too many people on this forum and in the SEO world that in my opinion, OVEREMPHASIZE putting content onto Digg and social bookmarking sites.
It is my overall opinion that by submitting your own content to either Stumbleupon, Digg or any other content submission site is like trying to game the system. The bottom line is, if your content is good enough for any of these sites, someone somewhere will submit it for you. And because the content will be submitted by someone other than yourself, chances are, it will be picked up and looked at in a far more positive way.
