Jim Gaudet wrote about a great script which allows you to shout to only those friends who have not dugg the story. This script was developed by
diggboss who was an active digg user and was later on banned by the Digg administration. The reason stated for banning was that the script uses the Digg API to "automating or rigging the digg algo". As per the author, the script was developed to incorporate additional features which Digg lacks. The author has therefore removed it from his website. Moreover, those who have used it recently, have found themselves banned because of violating the TOS which does not allow use of any script and especially one which makes the life of a digger easier (or you may say which damages the spirit of Digg). So be cautioned and advised for not using any greasemonkey script otherwise you may get your ass banned and would be left only with a sorry face. Happy Digging otherwise.
Sitemeter is a wonderful website/blog statistics service which provides valuable information to the webmasters about their website visitors, their pageviews, popular pages etc.
When i tried to access my blog stats at Sitemeter, I found it unavailable.
Then I read at their blog that they are migrating to a new website. Its always exciting to see a layout change of some big website but not like Propeller. The good news is that they will keep on tracking the visitors of their members. The blog says:
Please rest assured that we are continuing to track ALL your current users traffic data.
The maintenance will be there for about 12-24 hours. Lets see that what new layout/design they come up with.
Invesp interviewed a digger (who wishes to remain anonymous), and claims to reveal the 'secrets' of the 'power diggers'.
Digg might be doing some investigation in this regard. They may be trying to narrow down the karitzma of the top users but the ground reality is that they are the people contributing a lot of their time to the community and they are, primarily, keeping it running. So getting paid for something you already do is more of a fun thing than to be criticized at. Atleast, it is bringing in some extra money. ;).
Well, Google says that it will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries.
It is based on the components from Apple's WebKit and Mozilla's Firefox which themselves are open source and hence to keep the spirit alive, they are also keeping it open source. Google has been providing inovation and effective services ever since its creation. Google Chrome is another option, and lets hope that it will contribute to make the web even better. You may get the comic book based on Google Chrome here.
