  • TROGDOR42, on 10/12/2007, -6/+159Nice job, Kevin. Pwning yourself :P
  • DarthDaddy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+62Kevin,

    How many servers are currently running the site & database? Is that public knowledge?
  • AOHELL, on 10/12/2007, -3/+58Just add more tubes Kevin!
  • Pluckie, on 10/12/2007, -7/+62You would think that someone could have seen this coming...
  • JangoFett, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46I want a Digg swarm screensaver!
  • Popdmb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+41http://duggmirror.com/tech_news/Digg_Labs_Launches

    /sarcasm
  • lane.montgomery, on 10/12/2007, -2/+35No, I was sitting on the swarm page and the bubble for this story appeared and inflated so large you couldn't ignore it. So I checked it out and dugg it. Swarm is awesome!
  • oavil, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23I'd be curious to know a little about the network architecture too
  • titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22I wonder what kind of servers Digg has.
  • noneloud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Haha. It's bad when you've been dugg by yourself.
  • Aidenag, on 10/12/2007, -7/+22lol i was wondering what happened.. thanks for the heads up Kevin. for the 15min i got to use it.. it was definatly fun.
  • lane.montgomery, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15The line gets thicker the more diggers two stories have in common. It is supposed to suggest to you another story you may find interesting because many of the same diggers who dugg one story also dugg the one the line is connecting to.
  • SpacemanSpiff, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15I like how he says "while we add more servers" so nonchalantly. I guess you can afford to have lots of extra servers laying around when you're worth as much as digg is.
  • OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13How about a nice status page? With some graphics showing the server load, all the tubes and packages, etc? Ok, just a simple server load/activity meter of some sort.

    Come to think of it, we don't even know the total active users?
  • OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14This is no place for that kind of behavior.
  • op12, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Yeah, this was really funny to see in Digg Swarm: http://www.nirajsanghvi.com/images/misc/diggswarm.jpg
  • msturgill, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11***** tubes. Need bigger tubes. Someone sent me the internet earlier and I am still waiting.
  • jtibble, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12wouldn't that defeat the purpose of digg?

    you're not supposed to digg the stories without reading them!
  • DarthDaddy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9In the SWARM flash what does the line connecting two bubbles mean?
  • Cummings, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I'm Sure it will be amazing once all the servers get up and running. Stack really gives an organized simple view of all the stories which I like. Swarm is nuts to watch as more people digg stories and they fly around, it's really interesting.
  • afractus, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13nobody likes things to end premature. but fun while it lasted
  • metalrock76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Err.. http://revision3.com is down.

    What did you do steal the revision3 servers?
  • ramd3z, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Maybe an online tour..?
  • merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9The word you were looking for was "intermittently"
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+16and the circle is now complete.
  • TROGDOR42, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8From stack:
    PAUSED:
    Stopped updating the screen to prevent the internet tubes from being clogged.
  • KyleRayner, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9I want a Digg SWARM Opera 9 widget immediately! :-)
  • Petarded, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Is there a way to digg stuff when you're looking at it through the swarm/stack?
  • zbeast, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Keep up the good work Kevin and friends.
    Server overloads happen to everyone. It's a good thing.
    At lease your know your site is popular! :)

  • unclejesse0, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Wow. Digg Labs is awesome. I never knew that Digg could get Dugg so quickly.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4kevin got Homerowed.
  • joelthelion2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Linux server, yet no linux support for customers. Kind of lame...
  • trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4We know they use debian.
  • violentvinyl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Sorry, it's still out back in the dump truck.
  • rivviepop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2dammit, yet one more website that does something cool requiring flash 8 or newer, and us linux dorks are left out in the cold. I hate you Macrodobe!! *shakes fist* aren't our internet tubes as good as win/mac tubes? we want to clog stuff up too!
  • M2Ys4U, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Maybe they do a Google and have loads of desktop-spec comps with an elaborate network configuration
  • theporchmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2shucks I was heading to diggnation.com to download the new episode...
  • chocolatey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4> Wow, we digg effected ourselves...if that makes sense.

    There's a painting by Salvador Dali called "Girl Self-Sodomized By Her Own Chastity". I'm just sayin'.
  • iamhumble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1check out www.diggdown.net. they may have it but I haven't checked yet.
  • pcmacman, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Netcraft unsuprisingly says that they run apache on linux: http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://www.digg.com
  • darkzealot89, on 10/12/2007, -12/+13Boom! Digg shot!


    ...thought I would never see the day...
  • titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I mean Hardware.
  • lane.montgomery, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yeah, I know you meant hardware. That's why I said it was a good question, I got burried before so I don't think anybody else understood that.
  • bsingin64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1we will all fall into a paradox and the digg buttons of the world will esplode
  • jimphelps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Kevin said on a Twit podcast that digg had 80 servers running and they were adding 20 more for the digg v3 release. So my guess is 100 or so...
  • TheDarkTipper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You just talked about this on TWiT.
  • Magadass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Would make more sense if you "digg affected" yourself! Just saying!
  • Kash04, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5pics of rack?
  • JakeMcMahon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yeah, when they were down the other day, the splash page thing mentioned debian, php and mysql.
  • mrgoat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2/me makes spazzy face at kevin rose
