- r0ck3tm4nn, on 10/12/2007, -13/+282Do'h! I think Web 3.0 just got leaked...
- vbsurfer, on 10/12/2007, -19/+269I honestly think the controls are clunky and it's pretty lame.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+202Great idea, bad execution.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+91@rhine23:
Don't you know? In this country, everything black is faster by default. Watch the olympics sometime. ;) - Rhine23, on 10/12/2007, -1/+66What does the color of your computer have to do with performance?
- Waterispoison, on 10/12/2007, -0/+55Shh...I'm hacking the Gibson...
- DapperScoo, on 10/12/2007, -9/+62Sweet, stupidppl is back with a new account to spam some idiot blog. Let the block party begin.
- yoda715, on 10/12/2007, -0/+52Great Idea. No apparent organization. Needs a lot more work.
- lovek, on 10/12/2007, -3/+55a) Because you can
b) Why not? - Managore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32Yay! I won! The last level is hard.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+35Seen this before?

He's definitely a douche bag for spending the extra $$ for the color. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+30wtf? You stole this from the guy who really made it.
what a loser

- Sealab2021, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22A few Changes and this could be really good:
1. Organize Stores; Give the viewer the ability to organize the story's by date, popularity, and category. If by date then new story's appear on top while older stores go down. If by popularity, more popular stores float up while less popular stores sink. Category would cluster.
2. Better Control; Make it like fps control where the mouse looks around and you use WASD to move.
3. Make Portals; Create "portals" where you can fly through it to other sections of digg like Videos, or Upcoming.
4. See Other Users; Allow to see other digg users flying around. - strikerK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13not something i'd go to frequently, but its pretty cool
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11You guys have no idea. It's the same principle as car decals that add horsepower. It's a proven fact.
- carn311, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Cool...but not useful.
Dugg nonetheless - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Wow that really is cool...kinda hard to navigate though, I'd much rather use a nice conventional list instead of traveling through space to find the top stories
- Gr8Pumpkin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11because black is cool, but silver is better
- musicfreak21, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Kind if mystery meat navigation but a cool idea.
- WhoIsScott, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7thats pretty cool. Its like a Digg universe (hope that makes sence)
- Cronus6, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Very cool, but scroll doesn't zoom for me. (FireFox on XP)
- manifestdata, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Looks like the site is about to feel the Digg 3d (effect)
- mhuggins, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Apparently I'm the only one who doesn't understand this comment...
- battleroyalex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Pretty cool but 2D is easier to navigate honestly
- Managore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You also have to be really good at rollerblading and have a nickname composed of two completely unrelated words.
- Waterispoison, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6http://youtube.com/watch?v=x3XzPhdBx9g
It's from the movie "Hackers" were apparently all you need to know about hacking is that supercomputers are 3d interfaces and you fly through them. - jmhacc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9why is eaglefire getting dug down his project is cool and relevant to the story and he doesnt benefit financially from you looking at it
- Modred189, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Nicely done, but clicking on the icons does not allow you to see the original citation or comments...
That would be more useful. - ModernTenshi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8This person clearly has some skill. Perhaps he could be hired on by digg to do some slick ***** like this for them? That would be an awesome reason why.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I would code this in 4D but I just don't have the time.
- dantelope, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6From a technical perspective, that's pretty cool looking. Outside of that, it appears to be entirely useless right now. In the 3D space all you can see from afar is the number of diggs. Which means people navigate in your world by ... what? Seeking out higher numbered diggs? That's not a problem space for a 3D solution. Now, if you added color for frequency of digg or comment, and perhaps hue or shape or size for age of the story, and maybe some other indicators, it might make it more interesting. But it would still be a bad solution in search of a nonexistent problem in my opinion.
- Lyanto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7How the hell are you supposed to navigate this?
On a side note, I see this story in there somewhere XD - mraustin1337, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Agreed that it is too hard to control but it is definitely before it's time. It really is incredibly how far things like flash have come. I mean... 3D dynamic animations in flash. Pretty frickin' cool.
- Rikushix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Cool, but I just don't see the point.
- theyallsaypete, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yeah... but Angelina Jolie was girl-next-door hot in that one.... not skanky hot like she is now.
- actorboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yes, because I always wanted staying topical to offer the challenge of EV Override.
- AshTR, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5This was on the front page a few months ago.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3oh god.... imagine swarm in 3D (with good implementation, of course)
drool - tycurtis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Awesome. Floating around in there makes me feel like I'm a hacker from an '80s movie.
- patm1987, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3this could be awesome if merged with diggswarm
- Sethwm2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is very cool but I don't think that this is very usable...
- ioannusdeverani, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This was on digg a long time ago. But it is so cool, so I dugg it again
- Azazriel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah, it is cool, but I can't agree with the comments about this being useless.
While I'm definitely not an interface guru, I have spent enough time working with teams on interface design to become very interested in the way we interact with computers and technology. I continually find myself frustrated by existing interface designs and feel the manipulation of data to be clunky in a strict 2D environment.
Things like this may not serve an immediately obvious usefulness, but how many great inventions do we have today that initially started their lives as someone 'messing around' for the sole purpose of making something 'cool' yet not too terribly useful?
I for one am all for people dabbling in 3D. We exist in a 3D physical world, it just makes sense that the virtual world eventually moves out of the realm of 2D. I’d love to see this, or something like it, influence someone’s thinking on how we interact with all these wonderful toys we’re all getting so used to carrying around. - someotherdude, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It's not quite Minority Report just yet but, still, looks pretty sweet! Dug
- sufferingant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You have to wait, then reselect the window. Then you can scroll
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3flash's scroll wheel detection doesn't work on macs.. it should work find on FF on XP.. did you click once on it to make sure the flash embed had focus? that might be why it's not working for you
pretty dumb that it doesn't have alternative controls, considering the feature it relies on is not ubiquitous. - diggsIt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4In a couple of months, I'll bet you see it again.
