- Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -3/+73oh no, the internet can be used by pedofiles, telephones can be used by terrorists, tv is used to distribute propagada. Technology is used for evil and thus is inherintly evil. curse you technology for ruining our lives
- cazabam, on 10/12/2007, -3/+48It's not Web 2.0 enough! Should clearly be stalkr.com :-)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+43Are you e-dating him now using your secret myspace identity?

- ByteGuerilla, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Indeed. Jessica Alba has been one of my friends for a long time... this is very useful...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+29"This site is hilarious! "
Not really. - sarahgoing, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25i stalked my 24 yr old son, it popped his picture right up LOL!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -20/+38wow, it's just what the peds needed to tie everything together into one convenient location.
- drigz, on 10/12/2007, -8/+25In an act of vigilante justice, digg has taken it down!
- rinocom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Site's Dugg.. oh, well.. i guess i'll have to drive over and park in front of my ex's house
- jeffremer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16It's just URL rewriting. The server matches a regular expression for the requested URL and maps that URL to another specified URL - usually a script that picks the URL apart and does a search. Otherwise known as pretty URLs.
Check out the Ruby on Rails manual about on for an idea of how it works. - Kbennett, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Less than 100 diggs and it's dead? That doesn't bode to well for any future popularity it might experience.
- EmberX, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18DooS = Dugg Out Of Service
- SerialMartini, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I'll bring the high powered camera, you bring the beer, deal?
- flag, on 10/12/2007, -12/+21wow, now i can stalk my friends full time and never leave the comfort of my home! thanks stalkerati!
- djg38, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11How can you possibly mirror a dynamic site without access to the code and database?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+15Yes, because they have no better tools than some random website.
- shawnz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Stop linking to and asking for mirrors, guys. You can't mirror a dynamic site unless you have their code.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9"wow, it's just what the peds needed to tie everything together into one convenient location."
People like you need to have their rights to speak up taken away. That line of thinking is exactly why this country is going downhill fast.
Might as well take pencils away from angry children because they could haul off and stab you.
Might as well lock everyone up in a prison because terrorists can use blah blah blah for an attack.
Hell, I could take my monitor and smash it over the head of my co-worker. Guess we should do away with monitors!
Anyone can use anything for evil, and just because they can doesn't mean it's wrong.
Idiot. - kweee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9100 trillion, give or take.
- cblalock, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Digg wasn't even prepared in its early days. I remember before they went out and got the VC money for new servers and such that Digg was going down fairly regularly.
- dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10*shudders*
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9dude .. sarahgoing's son's mom's e-persona is hawwwwwwwwwt.

Just nit picking here, but Ruby on Rails has nothing to do with URL rewriting, Apache mod_rewrite or IIS has something I am sure.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html
http://www.widexl.com/scripts/documentation/mod_rewrite.html
http://www.motobit.com/help/url-replacer-rewriter/iis-mod-rewrite.asp - insidesource, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I knew that was you... I've told you: IT'S OVER!
- TylerDurden0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4mirror?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8This technology is so old. I've been using it for years. It's called "Google".
- bytex64, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Oh, no, it's the Diggernaut, bitch!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Plenty of sites survive being 'dugg', it's just a matter of having something a little more durable than $5 hosting accounts.
- Hermitwise, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5They should make a sister service that tells people that they're being stalked, it'd be good for their ego maybe.
- stomicron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5And here I was thinking no one in their right mind over the age of 40 would use the term "LOL"
- haxr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Official blog: http://stalkerati.wordpress.com/2006/05/31/digg-dugg/
- Universal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Steve Jobs has been stalked 0 times." "Bill Gates has been stalked 21 times."
hehe. - jeffremer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It should read:
"Check out the Ruby on Rails manual about on *routing* for an idea of how it works."
I did an edit and screwed it up, but ran out of time before I could change it again. But yes, I do know that it is mod_rewrite and/or mod_redirect (Apache) that does the URL rewriting (I'm a lightty fan myself). The RoR routing manual just has a nice bit on how it is well implemented in terms of the application side of things. Of course pretty URLs have been around long before rails. I can do the same thing in a few lines of PHP and a few lines in a httpd.conf that rails routing does - the native ruby rewriting is just a hell of a lot more elegant. Just comes down to whatever your application is written in.
Good call though, needed a bit more elaboration. Sitepoint has a decent article on it as well:
http://www.sitepoint.com/article/guide-url-rewriting - stomicron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3^ This is what is commonly referred to as "biting the hand that feeds you"
- TheAttacks, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Not working very well for me. .
- theGrue, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Digg because I had this idea but never did it... But I'd have called it thespacebookster or something like that.
- nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I love the only hit for my name on google images: http://images.google.com/images?q=sami%20samhuri&sourceid=mozilla2&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&sa=N&tab=wi
- dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Man, you guys are old school. It's 2006, bro! Talkin' bout hidden cameras!
- strangeguitar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think that your sicnec project is doomed to fail. Regardless of the topic.
- nayten, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2kind of sucks. inefficient, and lame. no digg.
- CamoChris, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3How has the site got 600+ diggs even though the servers have been down most of the time since about the 100 mark? Don't people check the link before they digg something!
- nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This stalking ***** is sick! ... now even I'm confused...
- Hergio, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3stupid
- Mac2492, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Enough to kill most servers, bud. =)
- TylerDurden0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You're obviously stalking the wrong person. Stalking can be great fun!!
- omnithought, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Ah, the little server that couldn't!
- Tiabin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Yeah, damn websites... Infact, damn all of technology. If we all had to travel on foot there would be less danger of stalkers having to follow you anywhere. And if we had to use boats to go to another country then it would be even MORE inconvenient for stalkers to follow you... And if pointy objects didn't exist murder would become much more difficult to do!
Seriously though, I blame hypnotic suggestion. If the service wasn't called "stalkerati" I doubt there would be as much whining about it. - wattssw, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I havent seen it cause its dead, but with a name like that its gotta be good :)
