Why not just use the digg api?

Yes I've looked into that but as far as I could tell, I believe that this:1. is faster2. doesn't require you to know the Digg URL to get the Digg count of your pages. e.g., you can just supplythis URL: <a class="user" href="http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/get_an_articles_digg_count_in_php/">http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/get_an_articles_digg_count_in_php/</a>instead of: <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/programming/How_To_Get_Digg_Count_in_PHP">http://digg.com/programming/How_To_Get_Digg_Count_in_PHP</a>And still get the Digg count with only 1 request.
