- avibryant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Yes. I'm the co-founder and co-CEO of Dabble DB. I'm not a regular Digg user, though I am fascinated by Digg and other sites like it - which is why we used Digg for this demo. The great thing about Digg is that even if an outsider like me submits a story, it's still you guys who decide whether or not it makes the front page.
- snoble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I'm not completely convinced that this is clear cut spam. I would say a spam story is a story that is posted and voted up by a small group of people with a shared personal interest in having the story on the front page. A regular story is voted up by people who have a non-personal interest in having the story on the front page. This seems to be largely voted up because of this blog post (http://dabbledb.com/blog/?p=47). It would seem a large number of the diggers are probably readers of the blog. As such they are probably dabbledb fans. But I don't know if digging something because you are a fan it falls into the spamming category. That seems like a reasonable use of digg to me.
- lechatron, on 10/12/2007, -6/+151. Create a site
2. Make a demo about digg
3. Submit to digg
4. Profit? - bradfuller, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Great video showing how to bring in website data to DabbleDB.
DabbleDB is built on Seaside (http://seaside.st/) - a great development environment for Web 2.0 apps.
Seaside runs in Squeak (http://www.squeak.org) - a powerful Smalltalk programming language and environment. - PAJK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Shut up with the spam BS. You can't submit your own product to digg now...? We're the ones that decide if it makes it to the front page, so is not us that are the alleged spammers?
Ffs, everything is spam these days. STFU. - TheOneGreatX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Anybody know a free alternative to this site?
- ShaSpleen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Dabble DB is crazy cool!
Who gives a sh*t if the CEO or someone submitted it, Only Digg users can bring it to the forefront anyway. - avibryant, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5The closest two are probably http://lazybase.com/ and http://zohocreator.com/ . I don't think they come all *that* close, but then, I'm biased.
- PAJK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4You make "Create a site" seem so simple, when in this case, it obviously is not. (Dabble DB is obviously pretty complex -- in the backend, anyway.)
I'm ashamed of being a digg user sometimes, when people actually digg up a comment like yours. I mean put some thought into it, geez. - skor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3...
3.5 - User your 37 different digg login to post self-glorifying comments
... - johneffort, on 06/06/2008, -0/+2yeah right. Do you consider every store that wants you to PAY for something also inappropriate?
Maybe you don't need money, but there are some people out there that work full time on web applications and like to earn a living with it. - umber970, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This has to be the coolest web app I've ever seen
- digrob, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8Had to stop halfway through because of the guy's voice.
- robb.monn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I use dabbleDb a *lot* at my job. It is great for taking someone's messed up Excel spreadsheets and wrangling the data to get it ready to import into a relational database. This is a fantastic bit of software that is a joy to use. Ocassionally I get bummed that it does't do this or that, but like I said I use this mainly as a tool to clean data up before bringing it into oracle.
Anyways, I found this new import tech fantastic and was happy to watch the screencast. Thanks. - sdether, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4The post may be a SPAM, but from what I've seen of Dabble, it's a pretty cool tool. Of course i'm a data mining geek and the apparent ease with which you manipulate data in it, is very cool.
- GravyTrain6, on 10/12/2007, -6/+7It looks that the first several comments are from users who registered either today, or this is the only story they have dugg and/or commented on. Looks like spam to me, regardless of how great the dabbleDB website might be.
- lazydrumhead, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2shouldnt the page read Dabble into Digg instead of Digg into Dabble?
- tblanchard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh chill already - Zoho creator was featured a day or so ago - its a genuinely interesting product. Even if you don't sign up to use it, its a great example of pusing the limits of web apps.
- wqwert, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Spam -- 1 post, same with the posts below.
- emocean, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2We've actually just started testing it out a couple days back. Haven't got very far but we have high hopes that it'll streamline our small amounts of inventory & invoicing. Pricing is a little high for a little company like ours though.
Oh well it'll either work out, or there will be some competition soon I'm sure.
:: - yannmonclair, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Every time I see a demo for dabble I am impressed. And it's probably the application that got me serious on using Seaside :)
- smalltalker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1 Awesome!
Try to do this with another application, is it not possible! And DabbleDB does this without writing a line of code. Man, DabbleDB rocks! - khafra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"dabble into digg" carries far less value as a mildly clever double entendre.
- raindogmx, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Agree, It totally looks like spam, no matter if DabbleDB is good or not. I'm not digging this.
- jkoon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2check out the other stories that avibryant (the submitter of this story) has dugg, they are all about dabble db
- palmer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Why even discuss this? Anything with the string "Web 2.0" should be buried automatically.
- RidinDirty, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Hey everybody! I'm using DabbleDB in the most usefull way possible to empower a web 2.0 experience in an interactive new media experience mash up! I'm using it to wipe my ass!
Just buy the ad space & link to your website. - cell-gfx, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Any website that opens with 'Try free for 30 days'... SPAM.
- noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5I'll contribute the most nonconstructive comment so far:
I can't bear listening to that guy's voice.
EDIT: DAMNIT!
I can't believe digrob beat me to it!! - rip747, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5Bury this story. All it is is spam. Half the comments are in broken english.
- Crass22, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1yeah this is an obvious spam attack, although im trying to figure out what theyre selling. this dabble DB has no use whats so ever, wahts so great about it?
- azreal1977, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3This smalltalk/squeak/seaside platform is simply amazing. No debugger from any other language can touch it for example. Imagine your code failing, you get a pop up walkback (which is like a stack trace in Java but so much more), you see the problem, fix the code and say continue and all just keeps on working like nothing ever happened. Only in smalltalk.
- joshkremer, on 10/12/2007, -13/+4Im using DabbleDB to play around with sales figures on my online store. It is fantastic!
- iariap, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2Seaside and DabbleDB really rocks!
- davidascher, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2I've liked dabbledb for months, and it keeps getting better. It's quite cool to see what you can do w/o any code at all.
- DiegoGomezDeck, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2I much like DabbleDB.
- bakki, on 10/12/2007, -16/+2Seaside on which DabbleDB is built RULES! DabbleDB kills!
