insidesocialnews.blogspot.com— Congratulations to digg as it hit story #1,000,000 at about 6:52 pst tonight. A huge THANK YOU goes out to all of the users that take time submitting top quality stories day in and day out.

Sure. I'll bite. The number of stories promoted to the front page* is roughly 59,500 (not exactly, but by the time I press the "submit comment" button it'll be different anyway - you guys are always busy).How did I come to this number? It has something to do with being able to do "select count(*)" in the Digg production databases.Thanks to the community for getting out there and making Digg the most kickassest site to work for and read daily! You guys are the best.*Keep in mind that "promoted to the front page" isn't necessarily an indication of quality in your personal value set, nor does a story not being promoted to front page necessarily indicate lack of quality. In my own digging history, there are a number of items that didn't hit front page, for example, and I'll bet you've seen at least one front page story you didn't think deserved it.
