I just posted a blog post onto Digg about a Mac vs PC advertisement which featured Linux, so which category do I post into. I thought about it and then went with the Linux category because I normally get quite a few readers from that category but wouldn’t it have been better if I could have posted in Microsoft, Apple and Linux.
So should Digg allow for multi category listings?
Well, if people could post in more than one category then it would get very cluttered especially on the first page of the Upcoming posts. So for that reason probably not. But I really do thing there should be some option allowing me for posting something like this in general like Operating Systems, or even a general technology section like they have on forums (General Discussion).
What are your thoughts?

People would spam the multiple categories like crazy. Every submission would have everything checked.
Human nature.
