What is Digg?75 Comments
- Rusti, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Im sure this will last about 30mins till the digg-effect destroys it.
- BloodJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -5/+29It's gathering data using a firefox extension, which means at most it can only represent 12% (?) of the market, which is an interesting cross-section to study. I don't know about the rest of you but it looks like it has me pegged: porn, google, porn and porn.
- chillybasen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Hey Everyone,
Thanks for Digging Swarm!! We are in the process of moving to a better server to handle the traffic -- so please be patient ...sorry about the wait (the site will still be live on the old server once traffic slows a bit) - gwax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17It would be creepy, in a big brother sort of way, if it could be done without an extension.
- seattle98104, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17yeah lotso porn.
digg needs a NSFW label. or a NSFW section. - dallen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16NSFW - BTW
Everyone is looking at porn - andyshep, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16i agree, this would be awesome. under the problem menu or whathaveyou, add in an NSFW option. people can flag the story as NSFW and diggers on the job can be in the clear.
but who's digging on the job anyway? *goes back to work* - aplusplus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Bangin' Becky is pretty popular...
- reqage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Seems to be a lot of people looking at pr0n. Which isn't bad until your boss looks over your shoulder...
- Ronnie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Not exectly work place safe... too much Porn (if there is such a thing) I'll play with it at home... while I'm alone... all by myself.... in the dark...
- Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Its dead Jim
- kalisphoenix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Oddly enough. That's a fairly unattractive woman. I suggest everyone do a Google Image search for Monica Bellucci. Compare. Contrast.
- jrsims, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7...That's how they find the porn. :)
- wigdig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7That's pretty fantastic! Great idea and very well presented. I may have found a new homepage :)
- Ashex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7considering how many people use Digg and how awesome the swarm is. I wonder if it can handle all the diggers installing the extension?
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8NSFW is right.. wow.. bunches of porn sites w/ thumbnails
i really wasn't expecting that.. i should skim the comments before clicking.. or write an extension that searches the page for "NSFW" and prompts me when a page i'm viewing has it.. - agarc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7It's swarming itself! Digg effect in full gear...
- aplusplus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Seems to have lasted less than 30 on the front page.
- FatMagic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Oh you can bet that there will be farms of browsers open using this extension.. thus you get what looks like LOTS of people viewing the same website.. and mob mentality kicks in - and everyone visits it. Free advertising!
- xBDVx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6hahaha, most of it is porn...the rest of it is Google
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7only a crappy site would store session information in the address bar... if your bank will give out your information to anyone using the same query string, let me know.. i wouldn't mind having some free money.
- AWBoy666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5So does it just show nothing when it's getting swarmed? :(
- wally4u, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Site's dead.
But you can install the plug-in from here if you want and using Firefox
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/extensions/swarm/swarm-0.1-fx.xpi
Again NSFW - davs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5as soon as the digg effect ends, i'm installing the extension.
- 2gunnZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4good thing someone said NSFW.
- kryptogrowl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5is this just a clever ad for Bangin Becky?
- Blazeix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Well, here's a mirror to the front page of the website. It has screenshots, but you can't actually see it working. It will help you get an idea of what it looks like though:
http://www.duggmirror.com/design/The_Internet_Swarm,_you_have_to_view_to_understand/ - icexe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4i guess the site has been Swarmed.. :-)
- mailman-zero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4[sarcasm] So... is it safe for work? [/sarcasm]
How many comments do we need that say NSFW? - bigtomrodney, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Pretty good. I can't believe I'm even surprised at the amount ofpr0n being looked at. I'm not going to install an extension for this though. It would have ben cool if it could have been done without the extension.
- danielson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wouldn't be surprised if the owners of porn sites got the extension and used bots to go to their site (so everyone sees what site they are going to) to try and increase traffic to their respective site. I feel as if the swarm can be taken advantage of too easily...
- 5had0w, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I would not use! You are opening your web access to others. I just clicked on someones gmail screen and can read all their mail.
- ,,|,_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3How does this extension have a different impact on system performance than average, run-of-the-mill spyware?
- stormside, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I would not install this extension! It is very insecure! I got into the middle of someones email session o.0 ...
Seems like if you have an active session going on and your link gets put out there and someone clicks on it.
They may get access to what ever it is - bank - email - forum. Fun to surf but stay away from adding the
extension ..... - thehigherlife, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3he didn't self digg this. he wasn't expecting this much traffic.
- NJank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3ahhh, a live demonstration of positive feedback
- angryredplanet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What's the deal with Bangin' Becky?
- kalisphoenix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's funny to read Fark stories that other people are looking at. Some "tasteful affair" with bikini-clad entertainers apparently turned into a lesbian sex orgy. More shocking is that only 68% approved of the developments, and the club received one letter of complaint.
- stormside, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Just trying to help out here. Have at it .....
- PeakAction, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Rename this the PornSworm. Wow, that Bangin' Becky chick sure is popular.
- techbuzz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Found swarm via a Fark ad earlier this week. Didn't install the extension but looked around. Wasn't very busy at the time, some porn, some google, many sites w/o thumbnails. Reminds me of the collaborative browsing apps from the bubble era like togetherweb.com. I like the idea, maybe they can get traction like stumbleupon.com.
- fani, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A LOT are looking at digg.com or coming from digg.com is what it'll register for the next few hours
- szym, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is a great idea, but I have doubts. Monitoring comes from Firefox users. On the other hand, Linux users cannot watch the swarm with Flashplayer 7. I always felt that Firefox and Linux communities largely overlapped, so how many potential users are left?
- ModernTenshi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3duggmirror: http://www.duggmirror.com/design/The_Internet_Swarm,_you_have_to_view_to_understand/
- unclefrank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Happen to go to highschool way back when with the author of this extension. Very nice, and creative guy. He wasn't prepared for this to be dugg and didn't put it up himself. He mentioned he will be probably be switching providers and that he is working on a way to handle the NSFW content.
Great work Billy. - angryredplanet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bangin' Becky is quite unattractive... It's gotta be the name I guess, that or she's paid LOTS for SEO. I don't think there is a comparison to be made with Monica Bellucci although there is certainly lots to contrast!
- donsherio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wow.... wtf. it would have been kool if 1/2 the stuff wasnt porn.
- rmariko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, someone just sent me an email from myself saying they were logged into my email account. I suggest that if you use this that you put all sites that you visit that you don't want people to see onto the blocked sites option. I guess I just assumed that things like email wouldn't work with it and didn't think about it.
- seventoes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Porn & google are everywhere else.
- ShaDoWwork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1nice good to someone thinking outside the box if you could tweak it and sort stuff this one be a sweet real time monitotrin app i love it shame its mostly pron and google.
