It's not going to go anywhere, so you're just wasting your time looking for content to submit. Instead, spend the first thirty days digging the submissions of 20 targeted top diggers. They'll notice. Put together a mashup of the rss feeds of the people you want to follow for complete efficiency. But don't friend them. Target people where there are ways to contact them off site, such as twitter. Start a relationship. After a while you'll have built up a list of people you can go to for Diggs when you need them. Build up a strong offsite list and you can move any story, regardless of what account is used to submit it. Actually, I wouldn’t bother trying to submit a story for the first 30 days.
