- MikeonTV, on 01/08/2008, -4/+80Nice way to get people to test your website.
- johanm, on 01/08/2008, -5/+67very nice work. although this would probably take me about 24 days and not 24 hours.
- dtd00d, on 01/08/2008, -3/+50Or perhaps 24 seconds: http://www.something.com
- LegalSatire, on 01/08/2008, -2/+31It's nice to see a "Web 2.0" website that isn't expecting to be the be-all, end-all of their trade. This guy seems to appreciate that he's just practicing, and isn't out to secure some venture capital and dash. I don't need to see another 40 YouTube clones, and how many sites can build their model EXACTLY like digg?
- adooga, on 01/08/2008, -2/+26Yeah. Except that it resembles digg in no visual or functional way whatsoever.
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -3/+23LmaoTzu *****-Insane-O-Meter (patent pending) reading: CRITICAL
- has2k1, on 01/08/2008, -2/+2124 hrs in 4 days.
- msergeant, on 01/08/2008, -0/+19That's nothing, you should see what Jack Bauer can do in 24 hours !
Damnit Chloey, I need you to route the digg traffic through the secure subnet, we can't let them access the mainframe ! - ravage86, on 01/08/2008, -1/+17You can register a domain and have it work everywhere instantly. DNS propagation is only really a problem when you're changing DNS records, not creating them.
- cvonwallenstein, on 01/08/2008, -1/+16Pretty slick. It's nice to see the API was reasonably well thought out. Too often, it's "o0o0o shiny graphics" with no meat underneath with these rapid prototypes.
- misterFR33ZE, on 01/08/2008, -4/+16This is how I disguised a shameless plug as a how-to guide to get traffic for my website! lol
I'm sure this will help many though, so good for you. - johnnysaucepn, on 01/08/2008, -2/+12So, basically it's a duplicate of this? http://widgets.opera.com/widgetize/start
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -3/+12Yeah, normally this stuff is written in feces on the walls of asylums [or on PrisonPlanet]
- BlueCyclone, on 01/08/2008, -1/+9Does Google also somehow remind you of Digg?
- DigitalRealm, on 01/08/2008, -0/+7Man, it is great to see something WORTH READING finally hitting Digg for a change. Great article, and this guy clearly did this for the learning experience, which I can appreciate.
- Uncle_Joe, on 01/08/2008, -1/+8Good job on the site and good read on the post.
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -1/+8And here I was all proud of a joomla site I setup over the holidays
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -0/+7*****
- w3bsmith, on 01/08/2008, -1/+6and then you blogged about it here to help promote it ...
- rboyce, on 01/08/2008, -0/+5Ugh, I took "poop on the brain" a bit too literally at first there.
- mooey, on 01/08/2008, -0/+5Even changing DNS records is not a problem if you change the TTL before hand.
- DMCLP, on 01/08/2008, -1/+6^^ Yeah, Mine has taken 18+ years and not counting.
Something to do with always growing/experimenting,etc...
It'll never be complete...
LOL - Shaggy63, on 01/08/2008, -1/+6Yawn.
- flamingbird, on 01/08/2008, -3/+8Did you post this in the wrong spot chief?
- raynar, on 01/08/2008, -0/+5Try and get on a national computer tech show, and advertise your site for free without having to pay any marketing at all...oh wait, thats been done...
- PetroSan, on 01/08/2008, -0/+5if you mean that is also has an input field then yes. absolutely the same.
- defwheezer, on 01/08/2008, -0/+4Oh my RIAA-o-philoc: the something site has some "free" mp3's on it! (http://www.something.com/temp/)
- dadm110, on 01/08/2008, -1/+5Holy *****, nice essay. By the way, what the flaming ***** are you talking about?
Also, LmaoTzu, you cracked me up. - arjung, on 01/08/2008, -1/+5oh, it's not perfect. they're missing the DOCTYPE.
- xdvx, on 01/08/2008, -2/+5Probably error page http://dominiek.com/assets/2008/1/6/Picture_62.png will be used soon
- Dantetheinferno, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3Eh. It's the nature of the beast.
Popular stories have to come from SOMEWHERE, and so that's auto delayed.
Then one of the stories has to climb out of pre-frontpage hell. Takes on average 5-10hours.
Unless it's super popular and super current (Obama winning iowa for instance) - everymahn, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3Send 2 more hours implementing decent hosting/bandwidth with load balancing - all that work just to watch the site crash and burn?
- ravage86, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3Usually true, but some naughty ISPs ignore that and cache it longer.
- jonesyb, on 01/08/2008, -1/+4Simply stunning. Very inspiring too. It makes me think there is hope for people like me. I want to now get off my arse and do something like this.
- galleryfront, on 01/08/2008, -1/+4Is it just me or are most popular digg stories about 30 hours delayed when compared to other social news sites? (I say other... i only really visit digg, reddit and slashdot).
- zammit, on 01/09/2008, -0/+2glitch? in programming that's referred to as a bug...
NaN happens when you don't check your vars properly - solistus, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2NaN is a common error code for Not a Number.... Yeah, probably a glitch.
- majglow, on 01/08/2008, -2/+4My internet startup is taking a bit longer than 24 hours :'(
Granted... it is a bit more complicated. - inactive, on 01/09/2008, -0/+2Do you have any strengths?
- zammit, on 01/09/2008, -0/+2firebug rocks. esp. paired w/ the web dev toolbar. excellent debugging tools.
- binhcan, on 01/08/2008, -2/+4Cool stuff, dugg it, but really... it couldn't take the load from digg alone, how can it deal with the real traffic?
- jashby2, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2I found some of the tips very useful. e.g. Firebug...I haven't installed this yet, but it looks extremely helpful.
- Nextrix, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2That is pretty good for 24 hours, but then again you used a MVC framework which reduces a lot of the coding work. I am hoping you at least know how the framework internally runs, because if this is just another "ohh look a tutorial on how to make a website in ruby" project then you site will fail.
- Grogtron, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Pretty much but without the title bar whoring for a third party.
- thailand1972, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2I can understand your pace if you're going to reuse the code - that makes sense to me. If it's purely a one-off, that's a lot of time to devote.
- u2wedge, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2feeds say 'NaN days ago'... glitch?
- ComplexBlue, on 01/08/2008, -0/+1It's what came to my mind straight away
- rkiga, on 01/08/2008, -1/+2why does it matter that the topic of his .com is unrelated to the topic of his blog/tutorial? did you expect him to write a tutorial on how he made a website that he DIDN'T set up? would it have really made you feel better if the tutorial was for setting up an imaginary website? all blogs are self promotion. there are many worse and more selfish things to do than trying to help others by writing a nicely organized tutorial that helped me, if no one else.
- Brymcon, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1awesome comment~!
- threetoedkoala, on 01/20/2008, -0/+1I'm not sure about the 24 hours either.... what about
How about 3 hrs and a small outsource team in Kalkuta! -
