Screen shot of Digg Swarm after the Saddam Execution

davekoss.com — Watching the diggs go up and up on Digg.com was insane. I switched to Swarm and this is what it looked like.

  • sanman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17I couldn't get the fire button or mouse controls to work, so the circle things quickly overran me.

    They should at least include a Pause feature for these situations.

    Anybody know any cheats for this yet?

  • Petronski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Then I guess I'll power down my "EightThousandBackupMaker Elite Gold Pro 07"* and go to bed.
  • zornfett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Apparently, GSN was way ahead of CNN on this one:

  • Bartman818, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@omargaz7 it took 8 minutes to get promoted

  • G-RaZoR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4anything for linux?
  • mc7winkie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That is not a record. There have been stories promoted in less than 4 minutes
  • mentor972, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Libsyn Mirror..

  • ideadude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow. That is one of the most tasteless games ever. It looks like they also have a "throw the book at OJ" game. Nice.

    I always get worried when this level of hate becomes accepted in our society. Even if it is directed at an obviously evil man. I just like to believe that we're all better than that.
  • Vinthian, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9but this is saddam hussein, almost everyone in iraq wanted him dead.
  • mentor972, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow. Good test of my server. I'm on the phone with tech support to keep it up and running!!
  • zkakisochra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Why is the actual story dead? I was not aware saddam was dead for several minutes after logging onto digg.com, the website I use to find indepentently generated content. I think digg.com is an excellent indicator of my own demographic (forgive me ffor generalizing, but I am referring to all of you 18-30 year old nerdy males) I find it appalling something so relevant to everyone living in the United states can be forgotten by everyone so quickly. None of what is on the front page really matters in the long run, while the issues that really are important are practicly ignored. I doubt the ,for example, war attrocities, among many other failures of our government would occur if People simply chose to inform themselves about contemporary politics and current events.
  • Petronski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Gnome users will want GNEightThousandBackupMaker Elite GNold Pro 07.

    KDE works with EightKBacKupMaKer Kay-leet Gold Pro 2K7.
  • halfgook, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I'm using BackupTools Trial Version. :(

  • mil8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2what happend to the spoiler alert on this? ;)
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ppl keep checking swarm it still looks nice...with the saddam story
  • newfoundnoise82, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2damn i get bored at work sometimes and turn on digg swarm in the background or on another computer but i have never ever seen something like this. wow is all i can say.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Saddam before he was cut down...

  • corsairstw, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I've never seen any story with that many continuous diggs!
  • Petronski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Linux users have a choice.
  • BigDelite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I would check to make sure you are not blocking with NO-Script. it often gives the flash upgrade warning.
  • ldavid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I've never really watched the swarm...but I think this is worth it!
  • Malarie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2heh, Good job. I am using Redhat Fc6 with Firefox 2.0.1 and guess what? I need an newer flash version in order to browse the swarm. I love linux, but i hate when i cant download something like flash when the developpment is months behind for linux.
  • coollettuce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i know thats why i posted it
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2lol, I was thinking the same thing...after 5 minutes it was at least 10 or 20 times taller than the next tallest digg....
