What is Digg?50 Comments
- DiggzDE, on 10/11/2007, -1/+71How that city flash won, I will never understand fully. Interface is just... well.. amateur. The others seem to be a lot better.
- skyer, on 10/11/2007, -3/+25Can we have more Digg contests?
- Claw787, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22Winners are,
1. Digg City by Chris Alvares (2,601 diggs)
2. Digg Charts by Ryan Robinson (1,730 diggs)
3. Digg Exposé by Hart Woolery (1,486 diggs)
Congratulations to all....!!! - Kobskid, on 10/11/2007, -2/+21Grats to the winners and the runner-ups
- Armorfist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+153. Digg Exposé by Hart Woolery was the best imo :/
Grats to all. - furst, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17They're all entirely useless.
- Amything, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11I had no idea I was voting when I dugg that Digg city thing. Then an avalanche of those competition entries came in and I didn't bother with digging them.
- joestump, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12I'm seriously disappointed that Digg Graph didn't win. Oh well ...
- fLUx1337, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9OK, as much as I loved DiggCity when I dugg it......it shouldnt have won!

Looks like something from the 90s.... - amnesiac096, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8They are good, but I really would have liked to see better graphics on the first one, it's not much work to do some nice clean graphics in Flash. Just my 2 cents
- SpacemanSpiff, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9I think it's unfortunate that there were less than 12,000 total diggs (votes) during this two week contest whereas the new AACS Processing Key received over 6,000 diggs in less than a day.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -8/+13Digg City is a fantasticly original idea, I really hope they polish it a bit more because it has great potential!
- SamKellett, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I think the voting was very unfair, as it used digg's voting system it came under the same faults, mainly we could see who else voted and the "follow the leader" behaviour would be present again.
Also, no discredit to the winner, the idea's really cool but it just isn't a finished product. Hardly worth such a massive prize that was given for 1st place. - suzanne, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7My favourite too, although the spinning Wheel had me for a while.
- nutcase, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5digg city needs some polishing, but he is the winner, so he knows best
- Roger, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Sad but true.
Most aren't that practical, just novelty eye candy. - spyrochaete, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Yeah, they should have submitted one story that sent people to a page with links to each entry and a poll to vote for your favourite. I had no idea a digg = a vote, though perhaps that made the process even more impartial.
- xGrill, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3yeah i know you guys think my graphics suck, personally, I did not like them either. But the time period they gave us was way too short. I skipped 3 days of work at my part time job just to get to a point where I could submit it to digg
- slapthemonkey, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Congratulations to Chris Alvares, Ryan Robinson and Hart Woolery!!
- themarq, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2@DiggzDE
I think a lot of people dugg it just to see their little man walk to the bldg (I know I did). I still think it's a neat idea, but not all that useful.
As many other people have already said, it could use a bit more polish to be cooler looking. But so far as being a "useful" interface to monitor diggs it's kinda pointless... not that pointless is necessarily bad. - alsp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2@bs0l: I agree, Digg Charts got my vote in light of its potential.
Check out my mashup here which shows diggs in real-time on a world map: http://www.bittrees.com/diggmap - bs0l, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I have to agree the if digg city received more work it might have deserved to win a bit more, but it did little to nothing unlike Digg Charts.
- rr525356, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Thanks to everyone for voting! We are continuing to update Digg Charts and will be adding lots of new features soon. We're also opening sourcing it. We have fixed the bugs that were found in the contest version, and the newest revision is available here (with source):
http://labs.splashlabs.com/diggcharts/ - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5Digg City is quite similar to Digg Stack ain't it?!
- rasterbator, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2We built this city,
We built this city on Digg.com
Built this city,
We built this city on Digg.co-oooooom! - rasterbator, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1City was not the best. Was Digg contest gamed?
How about Stamen builds a chart that shows the voting from the time of original post, and show how City moved up to number one so quickly... - rouslan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I liked the second one better. The first one lacks verbosity and has bad graphics, not to mention is completely useless and off-topic.
- Sanctity, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Congrats to the winners.
- Natastic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I really liked the Digg Wheel, with the tag concept similar to flickr! =(
- jinushaun, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Digg City is ugly and useless. Charts and Expose were both actually good looking and useful.
- no1jennifer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0You decide 2008!
Do you believe those obsolete poll data based on local phone? I don't, because I never have one after owning a cell phone.
Now it is time to show some real web strength to those media. Install this Vote 2008 taskbar, select the candidate you like, and use it to Google Web. Each search will be account to the candidate. Every month, we will announce the winner and offer a free computer software task to the winning candidates, things like a free screen saver and so on. So, hurry up!.
I wonder it would be better to setup a page for each candidate, and replace the name of candidate in the page, and make a install exe for each one, which sets the correct default candidate? and we do so, then we can also add something like, a million search == a free software task. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4the first and third ones are great.
the second one looks like a tutorial for flex charts. - iblaine, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Sad to see Digg City won...I loaded it on my computer a few days ago, went out to lunch, came back and that browser window had slowed down to a crawl, getting less than 0.2 FPS. Novel concept, poor performance & implementation.
- MaximegalonInfo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Dig City is sort of a rip off of Visitorville, the web traffic analysis software: http://www.visitorville.com/
- hello2usir, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Congrats on selling yourself short and being cheap labor for Digg.
- MsAdamWe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Stack is a godsend.
- sethcohen1, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0How that city flash won
Neither do I - mikew101, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3congrats chris and to all the runner ups
- lava, on 10/11/2007, -6/+5The thing that sucked about this contest is that they scheduled it around finals time, so college students, like me, couldn't enter.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -12/+11They all look pretty crappy to me.
Honestly, Who's going to use this crap? No one.
Thanks for coming out though. - MaximegalonInfo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Spent 2 minutes with the the "arc". It seems slow, confusing and pointless. I'm sure it's awesome, and that I just don't "get it".
- MaximegalonInfo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1I guess all we can do is continue on, tomorrow is another day after all.
- bs0l, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2How the hell did digg city win? The people don't even walk right, the graphics are horrible, and it barely gives you anything besides the diggs for a story? Digg charts should have won. That's a lot better.
- mikew101, on 10/11/2007, -8/+2@DiggzDe
Its about the idea not the graphics. Now that digg has the code and the idea they can improve on it, and make it more visually appealing. - Roger, on 10/11/2007, -10/+3I honestly don't care.
- doma, on 10/11/2007, -10/+1gg guys
