      Big congratulations to Digg, but congratulations also to Nintendo, since when I saw more than one "i" in a row I immediately thought they were talking about the "Wii" reaching one million users.

      When that starts happening you know you've created a serious brand.

      "1 Miiiiiilion users, and we suddenly have an army of one-sided nuts. Yay?"

      Actually, if you read through the comments on the more controversial subjects (ie, anything to do with Al Sharpton) you see that it's really more of an army of highly polarized nuts.

      And, in an interesting coincidence, "highly polarized nuts" is also the answer to the question: "What do you get when you go to an airport with a magnet up your ass?"

      "For those of you who can make it to the Bay Area in mid-April, we’re planning a party to thank you for your contributions to Digg. We’re tentatively looking at an event on Thursday, April 19th in San Francisco. Stay tuned for more updates, because obviously this milestone calls for good celebration!"

      I'll be there. Just don't ask me what my Digg user name is.

      There are several groups who want to kill me.
    • Keach, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Little, LOL!

      Me too. You know the Scientologists will have "representatives" there.

      Congrats Digg!
    • 1389, on 10/12/2007, -20/+5Does this mean that Digg will show its respect and gratitude for these million Digg users by:

      1) Providing a "Who buried this?" tab;

      2) Taking away the ability of Digg admins to bury or promote stories on their own, without regard to what the Digg voting public wants;

      3) Decreasing the weight given to a bury as opposed to a digg, so that stories with a large enough proportion of diggs to buries will stay in the upcoming stories queue;

      or perhaps even...

      4) Taking away the bury button entirely, and replacing it with a button to report spam to the admins, so that they can review it later, and decide whether or not the site is so egregiously spammy that it should be banned.

      No? You mean that you folks at Digg don't really care enough about us to consider doing any of these things?

      Didn't think so.
    • bl00w, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Now if we could only get every single person to digg this story.

    • bonch, on 10/12/2007, -34/+112Congratulations, everybody. In the span of two years, you've turned Digg from a technically-oriented news site with links to programming tutorials, insightful security articles, and other relevant news into a high-school kiddie site that posts a repetitive cycle of: something about the RIAA, something about PirateBay, self-referential article about Digg/Kevin Rose, something about Apple, something about the RIAA, something about Pirate Bay, self-referential article about Digg/Kevin Rose, etc.

      I can't believe I'm actually back to browsing Slashdot for news and commentary. Digg is the MySpace of tech news sites.
    • mad1stl, on 10/12/2007, -20/+7@bonch, you sir are an idiot. You're in here flaming the whole thing, meanwhile here are some of the top dugg stories right frigging now. "Multimedia Codecs for Ubuntu; Samsung Q2 Ultramobile PC Revealed; and 2007 A Hacking Odyssey" I think there's a saying, if not I'm making it one - If you go looking for gross little pieces of sh-t in the palace, you'll probably find some. If you dont like variety go away.

    • EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -12/+26bonch: "you've turned Digg from a technically-oriented news site with links to programming tutorials, insightful security articles, and other relevant news into a high-school kiddie site...I can't believe I'm actually back to browsing Slashdot for news and commentary."

      I've been a registered Digger for nearly a year and a half and am one of the top 100 commenters. Personally I think Digg has only gotten better with time. It's true the community has changed, and not always for the better, but it's still a great place to be. There are plenty of other sites for those who find the site no longer meets their needs. Considering all you seem to be able to contribute is to insult the site and its community I say good riddance to you. Take your grumpy ass elsewhere and we'll promise to stay the hell off your lawn.
    • MAdaXe42, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Actually, I have to agree - digg has become far more entertaining, and, in my mind at least, in that respect, has become a success - however, when I originally read digg it was instead of slashdot, as I got the same tech news, but sooner, from digg.

      These days, I read /. for tech news, and digg for laughs - don't get me wrong, I love digg, but the focus of the site has really shifted over the last 8-12 months.
    • littlebylittle, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Digg got popular when I started using it ... .................. jk.

      But don't tell me you've never thought the same thing re: yourself.

      I didn't :(
    • TheBlackLeopard, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9you're right bonch, digg has become myspace. I saw a few other likeminded people talking about reddit so I think I'm going to get my news from there. I just wish there was a 'redditnation' podcast each week with a 30 year old millionaire with Peter Pan syndrome and a chubby out of work actor who always talks about his parents.

      so long.
    • TheToecutter, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2@bonch

      You hit the ***** nail on the head. But what do the owners of Digg care as long as it equates to more people, more traffic, and a higher buyout? It doesn't. So prepare for this site to get bigger, and it's real usefulness to continue to go down the *****.

    • 6ixed, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31To me, it was a disappointment too, when I heard about just the *1 million users* claim. I was under the impression that Digg already has more than 4 or 5 million users. But it surely has made it felt like that..to users here in general and to the outside online populace and online markets. I mean, if DIgg..with just 1 million users can create such a huge *Digg Effect* in the online atmosphere..think of the massive buzz it would generate when there are actually 4 or 5 million registered users on Digg.

      Also, there are a lot of passive/active users of Digg out there, who just has not bothered to register, but passively/actively browsing Digg on a everyday/weekly basis. If somehow there's a way to count them in, the numbers would shoot to atleast 3+ million or more. I myself was a very active user of Digg for the past 5 months of so, but was too lazy to register. But once you do, you are hooked. Lol, Digging is extremely addictive, to say the least. :)
    • EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9One million registered users. God only knows how many lurkers there are, but it's safe to say it's many, many times the registered user base.

  • Mantarii, on 10/12/2007, -31/+151Great. If only you would have kept the userbase smaller, Digg would have been much better than it is today. After the invasion of the 13 year olds a year ago, Digg has lost a great deal of its value. It truly is a matter of throwing ***** onto a wall, and seeing what sticks. The best pieces of poo, again, judged by 13 year olds.
    • Jwoey, on 10/12/2007, -82/+10hey shut up.

    • dirtyfratboy, on 10/12/2007, -17/+28Well, it's great how you spend time posting comments knowing that only a bunch of 13 year olds respond. You is sooooo kool.
    • rsalsman, on 10/12/2007, -9/+30So lets say that a large group of people on digg are 13 year olds. Then a large group of the userbase is going to be digging articles that 13 year olds like. That results in a large group of the userbase being satisfied with the content. Like it or not that is the way the site is intended to work. It may not be perfect for YOU or ME, but that's not the point of the site.
    • bonkers1, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1@mantarii

      Maybe, but then Digg would have been more like Slashdot and seen just as a clone.
    • qwertymaddness, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0Not sure if its 13 year olds or not... but the arguement "I told you so" or "because our select group thinks it should be" doesn't hold water

      The majority SHOULD win, but in actual practice, it doesn't.
    • ratbear, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17I agree, it is unfortunate that the site has been overrun with kids that have immature personalities and nascent world views. The fact that they are extremely impressionable and likely to parrot popular opinins magnifies the herd mentality that has become the standard on Digg. But it's not like Kevin and the rest of the Digg staff can limit the membership based on age or some arbitrary population size. I have been reading Reddit more and more lately to escape the insanity, but its only a matter of time until that site experiences an event horizon of middle school infestation.

    • Andrewc989, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2You are absolutely right mantarii. While there is constant dispute of whether Digg has changed for better or for worse, no one denies the fact that it has changed.

      In my personal opinion, Digg is no longer a tech oriented site, no matter how you look at it. Not only this, but top posts now seem to have recurring themes (ie. RIAA, Apple, Video Games, etc). I no longer view the site for interesting news, but simply to kill time (much like media sites ebaumsworld.com).

      Congratulations on gaining your millionth member Digg. I'm interested to see what the site has in store in the future.

    • lynch03, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Well in response to that I say the digg system has helped bury the idiot posters, and most the time I reach a story all the idiotic comments are buried and if I feel like looking at them I can

      I can't see the comments before I click on the story from my Google homepage. THAT is why I was expecting a Wii story.

      How sad is it that your comments got dugg up?!?! So long my dear digg... I fear you have been overrun by retards.
    • Skitzzo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+32Batman, you truly are dense. I wasn't slamming you for thinking it was talking about the Wii, I was slamming you for posting the exact same comment as one that had already been posted. (Here's a hint, http://digg.com/tech_news/1_Miiiiiillion_Users#c5589725)

  • broomett, on 10/12/2007, -19/+16Yeah...and about 10,000 (at best) ACTUAL users.

    There is a reason why they NEVEr purge their user list. Not just the ones twho stay away on thir own (which is huge) but the ones they ban. Because they are desperately trying to make it look like there are more people coming here than acutally are.

    All you have to do is look at the user list when you still could, and see that over 90% have never dugg, submitted or commented on ANY story (or haven't in over a year, suggesting they joined, didn't like it and never came back) to see that this number is meaningless.

    Half of the accounts are peopel gaming the ysstem. Easily. Consumerist probably makes up 250,000 users alone. And the far left conspiracy crap like the Alex Jones sites make up another 250,000.

I am sorry I burst your bubble and now you are back to having nothing in your life. But it is true. When the user list coul still be accessed, a few months ago, I checked it out. At hte time, out of something like 50,000 pages of users, I randomly went to pages. over 80% had 1 or less contributions to this site. (as in, 1 Digg, 1 submission, of 1 comment)

      It wasn't until I got to the 3 digit pages (as in 500 or so) where there were clear active users.

  • darkstar949, on 10/12/2007, -6/+42Am I the only one that is curious as to what the first submitted story was?
  • xerigen, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1That's pretty dang impressive. Congratulations, digg!
  • illegalcortex, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Is this why I'm getting a "We'll be back shortly." error page whenever I try to go to my profile and click on "Commented On"?

    Yay.

    I guess.
    • profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Your browser's probably loading from its cache - try hitting refresh.
    • illegalcortex, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Strangely enough, that's what it was. I wonder if they have some never-expire (or really long expiration) header on the error page.
  • sjalloul, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Where is the party?
  • Ndric, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Great to be a part of the 1st million ^^

  • AUChizad, on 10/12/2007, -29/+9I just joined today.
    Could it be me?
    • kingace, on 10/12/2007, -8/+25No. Now sit down.
    • AUChizad, on 10/12/2007, -4/+46Seriously?
      Did I just get buried that fast for merely mentioning the possibility that I could be the millionth user?
      Tough crowd.
    • kingace, on 10/12/2007, -2/+51Welcome to Digg.
    • AUChizad, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Just to recap.
      -17 for suggesting I could be the millionth user.
      +38 for pointing that out.
      I'm learning.
  • GDLaws, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Grats Digg Team. Thanks for making a site worth reading!
  • 4815162342, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30but how many of them are active users?
  • Fredtheviking, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Oddly enough, I just registered today. But the announce came after I registered.
  • MicleMihai, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Great Achievement !!!

    This story will have a lot of DIGGS. :)
  • reboare, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Shouldn't the header read "Losers Find New Ways to Waste My Time?"

    I know, how about we tie this in with a Family Guy post...I mean, nobody has ever put up Family Guy links!
  • NiX0n, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Party on April 19th? How convenient... I take it this party is going past midnight :P
  • runbmd, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1What a coincidence! I just got my one millionth friend on Myspace today! I know all of them personally, too.
    • mad1stl, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2So you've met over 900 people, personally, per day, every day, since Myspace has been on??? Impressive!!

      /
  • keef06, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Oh can we get free fridge magnet's now? The ones from Microsoft have a very limited vocabulary.
  • krewenki, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2Anyone want to sponsor a fella to fly from Nova Scotia to SF for the party? I bet you do!
  • mecole21, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Interesting fact:

    the most popular story in the past 365 days is about the apple iphone, which 21639 people dugg as of 3:54 EST which means about 2.2% of registered digg users dugg that story
  • thewump, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5So what's this "digg" thing everyone is talking about?
  • kronzdigg, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Diggillion!
  • markdr123, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Popular in 27 minutes...?

    Niiiiiiiiice.
  • notfaded1, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4Don't know what I'd do without digg to break up the monotony of the day. I keep fearing smartfilter will add digg to the blocked site list but maybe many of the smartfilter people also read digg. Happy big 1 digg.
  • thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Bah, bury as BLOG SPAM!

    j/k

    Congrats to all Digg.
  • Razster, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Wonder how many are active users? And how many are still using digg now?
    My guess is that it isn't One Million... Also who was the millionth person? I would like to know.
  • qwertymaddness, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0hmm hard work does pay off!
  • wolvyne, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2giggady giggady just thinking about that makes my testicles want to drop.

    • reboare, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Yea, no sh!t. THEY INFLATE THE NUMBERS FOR THE INVESTORS BOYS. DISHONEST. MORE SOCIAL EXPERIMENTATION...ALMOST LIKE GETTING FREE PIZZAS.
