- inactive, on 07/16/2008, -2/+25Nice idea! Never trust the salesman...
- reggplant, on 07/16/2008, -2/+18Thats based on the reddit source code which slinkset host for anyone to make their own social link board: http://code.reddit.com/ same as the techrunch version: http://technews.techcrunch.com/
- bte101, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12Agreed it looks horrible on desktop, but it is just the right size for viewing on an iPhone.
- dshPls, on 07/16/2008, -6/+14This is the worst looking website ever. I'm not 140 years old and I don't need a login screen that looks like this: http://slinkset.com/sessions/new?m=required&n=%2F& ...
- Zippo, on 07/16/2008, -1/+9I look forward to more real applications. A lot of the current iPhone apps feel more like Dashboard widgets.
- Shreyasva, on 07/16/2008, -2/+9thers a similar thing for mac software http://osx.iusethis.com/
- rev4bart, on 07/16/2008, -4/+10Why is this guy think he is relevant? Stick to what you did 4-5 years ago and tell me how I should fix my printer or clean my registry.
Didn't he launch some massive development semantic web project before? I know he got burned recently after pitching a pyramid scheme company that went under recently. - dshPls, on 07/16/2008, -1/+6CANT UNSEE
- ProjectGSX, on 07/16/2008, -2/+7This is a pretty cool idea. The iTunes store has a built in rating system, but its full of idiots. People giving an app 0 stars because they cant figure out how to install it. Or people giving an app 0 stars when the text of their review says its AWESOME!!@!.
- BoneStamp, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5.... plus digg, engadget, tuaw, and don't forget the iTunes store.
- manatee, on 07/16/2008, -5/+10Hmm... where to download the slinkset code so we can start our own digg clones? :)
- mikeevegas, on 07/16/2008, -1/+5good idea, but the site looks a bit on the ghetto side. Hopefully future revisions will improve ui.
- dshPls, on 07/16/2008, -4/+8Not to mention he's annoying as *****. Call for Help was a pile back in the day.
- kris33, on 07/16/2008, -0/+4It would me much cooler if iusethis added a section for iPhone applications. This is a cool proof-of-concept, but has way too few features to be really useful.
- heathuff23, on 07/16/2008, -1/+5Be thankful you don't have to see this every time:
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/34/2006/08/p ... - inactive, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3a little misleading title there. i thought i was gonna find a digg app for the iphone/ipod. still digg it though.
- MavRevMatt, on 07/16/2008, -0/+3You waste your time watching him sit there?
- cgruber, on 07/16/2008, -3/+6
$digg_count = read_database($digg_count);
Digg_clicked($digg_count)
{ write_database($digg_count++); }
Bury_clicked($digg_count)
{ write_database($digg_count--); }
A digg concept page is pretty simple, it's the scalability and some of the other features that start to get complex. - drewolanoff, on 07/16/2008, -4/+7woot!
- chicken101, on 07/16/2008, -3/+5The least constructive digg comment ever...
- fluffyturtle, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2Software with user ratings? Clearly this breakthrough rating scheme is all thanks to Digg!
Not. - DreKor, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2So, I went to the site. I thought my FireFox had screwed up the css. I reloaded, and the site stayed ugly. I switched to IE7, and that fixed it a little bit, and by fixed I mean that the ranking numbers actually rendered. Overall, the presentation sucks. The content might be ok, but I didn't feel like sticking around long enough to find out.
- fahrvergnuugen, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2Aurora Feint FTW. Great game, easily the best free app so far.
- pedepy, on 07/16/2008, -1/+3Neat - still can't stand that dude....
- paladin144, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2Reddit is open source now. Why not steal (er... "share") their code?
http://blog.reddit.com/2008/06/reddit-goes-open-so ... - BrendanSheehan, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1LOL, I laughed when the guy above said that and then got 12 diggs for his inaccurate claim.
- BrendanSheehan, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1You are correct Sir.
- Lemon, on 07/17/2008, -0/+1Yeah but using "Slinkset" in the title instead of Digg wouldn't have made front page.
- m3mn0n, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1OH MY GOD I JUST SAW HIM NAKED.
MY EYES... THEY BURN ! - acevoncash, on 07/16/2008, -3/+4greedy!
- Vauce, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1A few things that would help improve this and make it a real tool for those looking for good apps:
1) Use the highest rated comment as the comment on the front page. Hopefully this is the most helpful and descriptive comment so it will be more useful to those that do not read the other comments.
2) Specify whether or not the app is free.
3) Attach a category to each app and allow sorting by category. - nicc, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1wow, you can log into Digg, post comments and read more than 5 of the so called "top" comments through NetNewsWire?
impressive... - toekneebullard, on 07/16/2008, -2/+3So this should work about as good as the Digg podcast section right?
- ryleyleckie, on 07/16/2008, -3/+4dugg for introducing me to aurora feint
- anarchyx34, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2Retard. It's supposed to be viewed on the Iphone, where it's formatted perfectly.
- MavRevMatt, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Which is based on Reddit's code base...
- heathuff23, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1Is there a site that has reviews and screenshots of jailbroken iphone/ipod touch apps and screenshots? I hate having to install a game or theme just to find out it sucks; theres the "more info" tap link which most of the time is useless :(
- dbradman56, on 02/19/2009, -0/+1wooh.. cool stuff :)

http://talismanclick.com - MavRevMatt, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1He said that.
- MavRevMatt, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1I was playing around with the service earlier, it's actually quite functional for what it does.
- lordtyros, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2Cube Runner and Pandora beg to differ
- rodrigo74, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1They probably will, one of these days while I was browsing iusethis I was prompted for the password of iphone.iusethis.com, after a couple of hours this prompt stopped showing, a temporary bug but very telling...
iusethis.com is great, especially in conjuction with AppFresh. - drewolanoff, on 07/19/2008, -0/+1from the downloadsquad article: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/07/15/iphone-app ...
- freesf, on 07/16/2008, -1/+2Even a blind person can read the site
- Technopundit, on 07/18/2008, -0/+1Pirillo blows it again.
- ncbutters, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1This site was created using http://slinkset.com not reddit's code base.
- airj1012, on 07/16/2008, -3/+3Pretty cool, but I wish it had more information or different links. Possibly a link with a description of the application or to the developers website. Right now the only link is to the App Store so you can actually download the application. I rather learn about the application before I launch iTunes and visit the applications page. Just a thought.
