Catchy title, a general news will do the work. Got to have quite a few diggs in first hour before it gets buried with the new ones.
Get lots of friends who are on digg. Post your article and get them to digg it. Then if you get enough diggs and depending on the time (its easier to get to the frontpage at certain times), then you will make it to the front page of digg.
Just watch how old the stories are that hit the front page and see how many diggs they have. http://digg.com/news/technology/upcoming/most
I've been on the front page several times. The only way to get to the top is to have good content. Do NOT submit spam or cheap content to digg, you are wasting your time.
Wow what a lot of great ideas. I also just read a good article on how exactly to become popular on Digg and this will get your stories on the home page consistently. The article is at: http://www.earnersblog.com/digg-power-user
