What is Digg?75 Comments
- simoncoul, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43They should change the name to stalker.org
- escheppa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32No I believe it should be spelled Stalkr
- cybersamurai, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33I think they spelled it wrong. Shoulden't it be "Tabbr" ?
- paul2802, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23what about when i look at porn. Will my friends see that. i like me time!
- nepawoods, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15"forget everything else - Tabber looks like the way to go!"
You sound like you're trying to sell it. And hey - you just registered today. - bonzodurer3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13WOW. Thanks for the info Bradmw! Your one word repetitive sentences really helped me! Your trolling comments were AWESOME!
okay, in all seriousness, this is a pretty good tool - nshah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13This is one small step in social networking and a giant leap for online stalking.
- spressma, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Wow, you're a jackass.
- twistedf8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Another awesome tool for Cyber stalking. Woohoo.
- admirabumblebee, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13This would be so cool!!!!!
if i had any friends :(
Now I wonder.. will I be dugg up because the majority of digg can empathize, or will I be dugg down because the majority of digg is now coming to a sad realization (cancel or allow?) - BunnieLebowski, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6if I want to see all my friends in one place, I invite them over for a BBQ
- RMorris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would "import your contacts" to an online service.
It's no different than writing it on a bathroom wall IMO.
Do that to my address and I'll blacklist you faster than you can say clueless user.
Buried as worthless, privacy invasive data collection and I'd guess spam. - Dominatus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9How is this spam? It's a free online tool that a lot of people would find useful and has extremely minimal ads (1 google adsense). This kind of stuff gets on Digg all the time.
And for the record I have no association with bradmw, he's obviously trolling. - Randazzo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9>This is spam
This is... SPARTA! - minamhere, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Site still works fast for me.
- fulldecent, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Seems like this is easier than RSS or Facebook for keeping up with what's new with your friends.
- cthan323, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Web2.0 has overused the word "social." Everything that has "social [insert noun here]" in the description leaves me uneasy for some reason. The word doesn't have the same ring it used to :(
- fulldecent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Online tour: http://tabber.org/tour.php
- krynsky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2For those with the proposed name change to Stalkr...there already is a site that provides this functionality called iStalkr.com...you can stalk me here: http://www.istalkr.com/users/krynsky there are several new services like this coming that are based on the Lifestream concept. Creating a chronological aggregated view of your online activities across several services is a cool way to let your friends know what your up to. It's not stalking if you publish and filter the content you want to make available to them. You can read more at lifestreamblog.com
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you read facebook's policy, you will realize it's almost the same. People enjoy reading too far into these things. I was using all this tinfoil for a tiny boat, but if I just turn it upside down and put it on my head..
- ricodued, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hm. I wonder how it performs the myspace integration. With a site so unreliable as MySpace, screenscraping would be out of the question and too resource-intensive.
- DeFex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The government or other organized crime would never use the tech to spy on your web habits once you have the program on your computer for "legitimate reasons"
- Dominatus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Profilactic also does not allow you to add friends outside of Profilactic's network, at least, I havent found a way to do so yet.
- Dominatus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's pretty standard for a privacy policy. If we don't include something like that, then we have no way of changing the privacy policy, ever. But as far as that goes, if we did change it, we'd notify you, and it'd only apply for data after the change and notification occurred. That said, I don't plan on ever changing it, but I'm not a lawyer and I didn't want to corner myself into a privacy policy and not be able to change it without backlash.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Which proves you have absolutely NO idea what Big Brother is all about.
All this does is allow you to view everything you could NORMALLY view (public information that the people know perfectly well that people are able to see) in one place.
What part of "public" makes you think there is privacy involved? If you don't want people to see what you have done, then you shouldn't have a public MySpace page in the first place. Or ANY account that lets members view what other members are doing. - butlershouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And there I was wondering if someone would mention iStalkr and Jaiku. This seems to be the new "new" thing online. The ability to start indexing and cataloguing our activities online is actually useful to to more than just the individual. With luck these types of sites will become defacto in online usage and we will be able to add links to all of our online comments and posting. Backing this up with some type of "openID" to potentially increase our ability to say "I wrote this " ( should you wish to ) is immensely useful to many who recognise the need for a coherent on-line identity for themselves. As an excercise a few weeks back I started ( from Twitter ) to join and add myself to a variety of social network sites ( excluding the obvious candidates of the time ) just to see how it affected my on line presence in terms of Google and other search engines. You can read about the links and sites I joined by searching for "loudmouthman" in Google. I will add Tabber to the sites ive looked and work on keeping it uptodate for the next few weeks. So thanks nondonoug or mentioning it and thanks krynsky for your comments.
- pele325, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm not a mugshot user so this might be inaccurate, but I think a key difference is that with mugshot, your friends also have to be users of mugshot in order for you to track what their up to. Tabber is more of a self contained tool in that even if you're the only one you know who uses it, it still has tons of value. Check it out and I think you'll understand the difference a little better.
- Popdmb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Sorry for comment abuse, but check out the privacy info:
"From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our Web site to notify you of these changes and we will use for these new purposes only data collected from the time of the policy change forward."
That's a little too vague if you're asking me to import my entire list of contacts. - MindTrigger, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4And using 'web 2.0' in a sentence is ok with you? lol
- penumbra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think he has a point at least worth mentioning. Use it, sure, but be aware of the privacy implications, because not everyone is savvy enough for it to occur to them, or to think of privacy as a potential problem. That's what education is all about... helping people make informed choices.
- Finovski, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Cool concept, but not my cup of tea... it's like a micro form of Big Brother.
- sedo1800, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5this really is spam... nodonoug dugg like 5 stories total and has only submitted this one. looks like a cool site though...
- sMoRTy71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not to mention Profilactic which also aggregates all of your friends' online content... and is much easier to setup.

Funny how you mention it being the "new" thing online which I think it is. I even referred to it as that a few months back when writing:
http://krynsky.com/lifestream-could-it-be-the-next-big-thing/
This concept has prompted several developers to create scripts and plugins for hosting this functionality on your own site. Many services are also sprouting around it including Jaiku, iStalkr, Tumblr, Profilactic, Dandelife, Suprglu and more on the way. I do think this is the year for this to really take off. - korn91313, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yet another way for big brother to watch over you.
- DeFex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1hdtvdust moron added to ignore
- fulldecent, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Back during the slashdot age, any comment that long would automatically be marked +1 insightful.
- djh816, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3on the note of burnttoast, digg, how about implementing a comment limit? i mean nothing too small but maybe a hundred lines is enough for a comment...
- AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yay! Cyber-stalking of your friends made easy!!
- sugarsickness, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@cybersamurai:
Well, at least it's beta - Dominatus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2iStalkr only allows you to watch members of iStalkr. Tabber allows you to add contacts that are not members of Tabber, which makes it very different.
Also, Tabber has an entirely added functionality of the address book, allowing you to have total management of your contacts from one source.
That said, iStalkr is a very cool site. - ReubADoob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was just thinking the same thing about Facebook though. Its pretty reliable so I'm pretty sure it would mingle well. That is if Mark Z will let it.
- counterplex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2All your friends are belong to us!
- androothebear, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This will come in handy for Jack Bauer
- djwhite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0hmm gotta try and see if its any good
- psychosid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sounds like something the government came up with
- mpritc1019, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought it was just me getting booted out of digg every coulple of page loads. WTF?
- acex23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0creepy?
- dfndoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1stupid reg form timed out twice, sent me an invalid confirmation email then refused to work again with either of the email addresses it already failed on. This site sucks badly if I can't even manage to register for it...
- Lojikle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Creepy.... That's just me though... but I think it's a little on the stalker-ish side...
