What is Digg?49 Comments
- Skitzzo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+47Dude, it's Dugg. Not Digged... still pretty cool.
- imsoclever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25Yaho. Digged.
Words are hard! - AdmiralAdama, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Yahoo Pipes seems like the future, but i have no idea how to use it.
- zephc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Google: site:digg.com/users/[your user name]/news/dugg [keywords]
- mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I stand corrected, sir, thanks!
BTW, I would appreciate any comments or feedback from the community about this. This pipe just took about 7 minutes to build (3 of them just to figure out how to use the debugger), so is not polished by any definition.
I'm sure someone in diggland is right now incubating some ideas on where to go from here! - bmartin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9BTW, your proctologist called. They found your head.
- mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Well, the point of the exercise was to be able to "search" the user RSS feed.
If you take that away, then it will always display all the recent diggs from a user. That is the same as just using the plain XML feed directly
I wanted to be able to filter that by keywords. I usually digg stuff that i want ot read or revisit later, so searching my own feed is sorely missed... - flernk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Kevin Rose dugg this story. Does that mean that we'll be seeing the personal search return or that it is permanently gone and Yahoo! Pipes are our only hope?

Kevin Rose said in another story, bringing back this feature is one of their top priorities at digg.
Nice use of yahoo pipes in the meantime tho - mazerrackham, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Pipes is a powerful concept, but there need to be a fundamental change in the way RSS is presented before it will be useful. Right now it is limited to only current items in an RSS feed. There almost needs to be a FIFO (or UNIX pipe file) type of feed where data is continuously queued into it and it is up to the reader how much to pull out and use. This way the reader would have access to as much of the queued feed as it needs to present a minimum number of results.
Example: I created a Pipe that searched digg submissions by keyword and displayed ones that had more than a specified number of diggs. It worked, but it only used the data from the first page of search results, since that is all the RSS feed presented. So, since the digg search for "testing" returns a page of 1-digg results the Pipe returns nothing if you specify 2+ as the minimum number of diggs. If there were a bottomless RSS feed, Pipes could search as far back as it needed. - mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@mazerrackham:
The problem with a "bottomless" rss feed is that it would take forever to download and process.
It would be far more useful to be able t pass a parameter to the feed indicating how far back to go (number of stories and/or date)... hope the digg developers are reading this! - goodnewsevery1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5altered the orginal pipe so the pipe user can enter a number in a new input field to decide what he wants displayed about that user:
2 = Stories dugg by user
3 = Front page stories by this user
4 = Stories commented on my this user
10 = Stories submitted by this user
Try it here: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/qsRZko672xGF7CPQdLq02Q/ - totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This is the first example of Pipes I've seen that actually makes any sense whatsoever-great job!
- SaxxonPike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Proof that pipes has the ability to not suck.
- ABadInAlbany, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4check your "Comment Threshold and Sort" profile setting.
- imsoclever, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Titl haz been fixd
- mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I tried that, but i dont like that it usually returns a link to the page that contains the digg.
I wanted something to return the digg itself.
Thanks for pointing it, though! - codesuidae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Sigh.

Thats why I compared it to a fifo. It would be up to the reader to keep accepting more RSS entries or to stop based on whatever criteria it wants. The server wouldn't just push everything on the reader all at once.
In the current method, even if you offered number of results as an RSS criteria there would always be the risk that the reader would get too many or too few results. - mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What we need is a was to customize the output module. Maybe a way to attach some CSS to it?
- mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice!
I have a pipe noob question: how do I change the description below the pipe name? - nsharp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've made a simple pipe that combines digg, del.icio.us and reddit, filters duplicates, and sorts based on newest first.
Try it out here:
http://digg.com/programming/Digg_Reddit_Del_icio_us_Duplicate_posts_sorted_on_date - coldhandshake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I couldn't get this to work for my username. it would be cool though
- DevilDogs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@mklopez and @mazerrackham:
I have my Dugg feed in Google Reader, and I have access to 366 Diggs. I have more Diggs than that, but at least it is more than one page. So there must be a way to do this. - flap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1well it is last on the page now.
- mklopez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Digg changed the default sort order for everybody to "sort by most recent comments"... they did not tell anybody.
I had the same "issue" for days until I figured it out... we're dumbasses! - jeff1943, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I seriously wonder how hard it is to get the profile search back on digg? I use it all the time. Please digg, bring it back.
- peter337, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Still very cool! Hope to see an improved version soon.
- codesuidae, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Here's one I made the other day. It takes the Digg 'Top links today' feed and replaces each of the feed items with the top three links from the submitter of the original link.
The idea is that people who submit stories that make it to the top links may have submitted other interesting links that haven't yet made it to the front page. So you can get a feed that shows you some potentially good links.
I wrote it as an experiment in developing reusable module pipes (as you can tell from the name). The sub-pipe that it uses accepts some inputs from the calling pipe that it uses to load the items it returns.
Pipes is cool, but it needs some more work. Right now it is very difficult to do some pretty basic stuff. Lots of potential though. It would be great if they could make another tool that would let people who are mostly clueless about web design write the browser code necessary to take the feed items and render them to a page in a reasonable way.
For example, with Pipes its trivial to take the Digg top links and for each one look up some relevant google links or flickr images or user information to add to the feed items. The problem is that that information isn't rendered by the browser in a useful way. It would be really cool if I could use another Pipes tool (Faucet? Spigot? Sprinkler?) to create code that would let me develop a presentation template for that specific feed. I could then include that code in my existing pages to make some pretty cool stuff. - GTPilot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1it's ok .. i know who you're talking about =D
- crossers, on 07/19/2008, -0/+0about yahoo pipes I have no idea, and about digg. I digg some areticles, but don't need to search them!

- raid517, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yeah that fixed it. I wonder why that happend? I didn't change anything...
Anyway thanks! - SirBotchness, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2teh
- MISDIREK7ED, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I think your best bet would be the "report a website bug" link. :) Lower left of every digg page.
I would try scanning your computer first though... you seem to be the only one experiencing that "bug" - dchaosdx, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3i guarantee you the submitter of this story is the guy that goes with you on world of warcraft dungeon pugs and ninjas your loot.
"hey buddy where ya from?"
"yes!"
"no i said where are you from?"
"ok!"
"/wrists" - raid517, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Man as of today there is something really weird going on on digg, none of the comments I respond to on are being placed in the correct location. This is NOT a mistake on my part. If I respond to a comment by a particular poster, my comment will appear several comments above the comment of the poster I am responding to.
Again this is not inaccuracy, I have repeated the process several times over, taking care to ensure I was responding to the appropriate comment but consistently my comment will appear several comments above the poster I am attempting to respond to - making my comment appear out of place and to be somewhat nonsensical.
Does anyone know who I can report this bug to? Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
BTW it just happened on this post too. I wasn't responding to anything. Mine was the last comment on the thread at the time of posting - but my post has appeared half way up the page. - rYno, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/TBH_JYq72xGjGyv3E2_cUw/
I don't know why you had two search boxes but I did a quick fix to just include the username instead of the weird search box as well.... - raid517, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1What the hell are you marking me down for??? This is a bug and needs to be reported.
Check it out, even this comment is in the wrong place!
I've been a digg user from pretty much the start. I know what I'm doing.
My original post is below.
I cannot respond directly to it. - rudy23, on 10/12/2007, -11/+9@flernk ^^^^^^^^^^^^
someone needs to build a pipe to weed out all these kevin rose fanboys. - antdude, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1And Yahoo!.
- rudy23, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2even my proctologist didn't know how to use it. I gave up after hearing that.
- tmwilkin, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3pipes! ... tubes? what is the internet clogged again ?
- dchaosdx, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1ignore my above comment... they fixed the spelling errors in the title and my comment no longer makes sense.
- flernk, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3Not a fan boy. I want the personal search functionality back, but the fact that Kevin dugg this story doesn't seem to bode well for its return.
- mazerrackham, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4meant to reply, digg this down down to goblin town
- rudy23, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1In Soviet Russia . . . .
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0What's Yaho?
Marked as Inaccurate because I simply cannot find this Yaho Pipes.
