IMHO it cheapens the whole article and makes it plainly obvious that the main intent writing the article wasn't to be interesting, but to gain followers on twitter.

When someone ends an article with "You should follow me on twitter", they're being arrogant obnoxious and rude. If their only aim is to get weak minded sheep to follow them, then fair enough. But put the "You should follow me on twitter" link at the top so other people can just ignore the article.



Does having the Digg voting widget or other similar social bookmarking tools cheapen the article?


Sure, just like any website that starts by asking you to invite your friends.

All of these devices are just ways to try and get people to spam for you. Ooops spam is so 1.0. I mean "go viral".
