- xMYTHx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+34Entertaining for a couple of minutes, maybe. But honestly, does anybody actually use the digg lab tools on a daily basis?
- fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23I doubt visualisation is changing anything at all. Until you can actually interact with the site the visualisation 'tools' are nothing more than eye candy that quickly gets boring.
- fourscorepress, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17***** digg labs, make a "picture" category instead of pissing around with things no one uses
- meruru, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I know it's changed my behavior. Why read stories when you can play tetris with them instead?
- surfing, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13what we need is a 3D comment system
- npsken, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15WILL YOU BLEND?
- Angostura, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5You know what would be handy? A proper textual description of what the bloody graphics signify. What are the lines that sometimes connect stories in Swarm view? (I didn't know until TFA gave me a hint). Why are some user blobs bigger than others? What determines when a user blob disapears?
None of this is actually documented. Until it is, it's just useless pretty stuff. - z33Tec, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Or just the old comment system brought back
- Disjunto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3because we all use the video category all that much, i prefer pictures (and vids) in the main section, that way only the good stuff gets through video section is full of crap
- antdude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Same here. I noticed it recently. :(
- ChileanGoD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I changed my options from show all comments to show level1 comments.. and my replies reappeared! woot! magic!
- ChileanGoD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2ramdom question... Have anyone had problems with your comments randomly disapearing from the threads? It's kinda happening frequently to me.
- OBKenobi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I used to want a picture category, but since then I've realized it would dumb Digg down even more. Adding a picture section to Digg would be like a honeypot for the scum of the internet, you don't want Digg to become the next YTMND, 4chan, or Somethingawful. Digg should stay semi-serious.
- OBKenobi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I use it on a whim occasionally. The swarm one is semi-useful if you like spying on other Diggers, which is about as exciting as spying on a high school Dungeons & Dragons club.
- rcran, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Frankly, with the power that those could be exploiting, they are pretty lame.
- gnalle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1How about allowing digg users to rewrite the abstract/story that desrcibes a link? In other words change a lousy abstract of another users story after it has been committed. This way we could avoid stories along the lines of "W000t [PIC]". That would be more useful than all the digg-lab visualizations.
- nationalist, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2visualization is cool for a while...then it gets boring
- soupir, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I hate it when you can only visualize visualizations.
- da5id, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2No recursive Digging – too much like you a masterβ
- FastZ, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's what I'm talking about.
- antdude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Use them as a screen saver would be nice.
- winnch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"Data visualization is changing behavior on the popular bookmarking site."
No, it's not. The Digg Labs has produced some utterly useless *****. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1DiggSpy is the original Digg tool and the only one thats even useful, the rest are just cool gimmicks
The money spent on hiring orangesilver to do them should of been spent on fixing the search, adding filters and getting the pictures section done - super_duper, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I find myself using 'Big Spy' fairly frequently to escape all the frontpage nonsense. The front page stories are becoming kind of typical and expected. Amazing pictures, iPhone, Ubuntu, anti-bush. The Digg community is starting to become a boring crowd.
Beneath the surface of Digg, there's actually a lot of interesting stories that don't get promoted. And if a story doesn't interest you, it scrolls to the top until it disappears. I like Big Spy for the reason that I don't have to be constantly exposed to stories I'm not interested in. - soupir, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I think there's a DiggBot killing "ramdom" comments like yours.
- mapkinase, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No new tools for me. Digg City sucks thumb in a fetal position
- Signum, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I am glad this came up because for a while I have been wanting to know how many people use Digg Spy. I have found it to be really useful in getting the stories sooner and a greater varity then the main page. So is any one else addicted to using digg in this way like me?
- Aguirre, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0For interactive visual statistics have a look at the dugg analyzer

- LordSkywalker, on 10/10/2007, -7/+3I think I'll take the good quality Digg logo from that site and make a good shirt for myself at Cafepress.
- da5id, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1No recursive Digging – too much like you a masterþ
- bobangitanov2, on 10/10/2007, -11/+1"If I got to sucker-punch two people in the world and get away with it, it would be Kevin Rose and his dad"
-Steve Jobs, from http://tinyurl.com/15fa - DocHoliday22, on 10/10/2007, -11/+1Don't be lame...
- thedude1181984, on 10/10/2007, -29/+4but does it blend
