What is Digg?62 Comments
- Lord_oftheTrons, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24Now you need to make a button that makes your mouse leap up and smack you in the temple when you try to submit a dupe without looking at the other 10 million posts on the same subject.
Then I'll be impressed.
Nice button though. - alex007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Strange how you manage to sumit duplicate comment. LOL
- zebrinydeep, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Digg, but it'd be nice to link directly to the page, instead of to the page that links to the page.
- alex007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6A sure way of getting a ton of crud on digg. Digg is for news not favorites.
- Blaker19, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11useful is important to me. special isn't. of course i got the idea from del.icio.us
- h0dg3s, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Oh great, so people can add more random junk that isn't news.
- xunil2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I can see this inreasing the number of duplicate stories posted to digg.
- lalindsey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Could be useful, buuuutttt my toolbar is crowded enough (bookmarklets, delcious extension, web developer, stumble upon.)
I much prefer the one that puts an option in your Tools menu, and your right click. All I have to do is right click the article/site I am on and there is the "digg this" option right in the menu --
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1477&application=firefox
Of course this is for FireFox only, but why would you be using anything else, right? right? (j/k fanboys of other browsers). - snoble, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Dude, people can digg whatever they want. Digg is a self policing system. And of course you can post whatever comments you like as well. But a law (like " 'cool!' does not always equal digg ") without consequences or enforcement, isn't really a law. It's really just opinion. I mean if you are saying "hey guys, don't be surprised when that cool site that you posted doesn't make it to the front page," then I'm hip to that. But it really feels like you're wagging your finger and saying "it is wrong to digg anything that doesn't precisely follow the terms laid out in the digg code of conduct," which sounds kind of square to me.
- TheCheeta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It is square for a reason. Many of us seek to use DIgg as a one-stop shop for tech news... and it seems that Kevin & Co. wanted it that way, too (at least initially). But once the 12 year olds got here... well... it's all been downhill from there.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4if its crud, then dont digg it, problem solved. it doesn't matter how much crud is submitted to digg as long as there are plenty of us to filter it out
- lalindsey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That's pretty much impossible dude. How would it know if what the person is digging is something in the blog entry or some link within the entry.
And, yes, diggers can be morons - you've given us a shining example. - oldcyborg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Works for me!
Thanks.

yes - robertgoodwin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I like it. No messy installation required. Thanks, Blake.
- warhorse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The digg.com toolbar for Firefox and IE available at http://diggbar.ourtoolbar.com/ also has a submit to digg.com button.
- samsoffes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3it works in safrai too. just drag the firefox one on to your toolbar. digg+
- wastern, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2He didn't mention it, probably because he doesn't know, but all bookmarklets also work in safari, just drag the link up to your bookmarks bar. done.
- LouCypher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Another bookmarklet http://loucypher.wordpress.com/projects/bookmarklets/#submit-page-to-digg
- Blaker19, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Some digg'ers may be interested in how much a digg front page story affects a web server. I did a quick overview at my blog. Basically human-viewed pages (not bots, not images, not javascripts, etc.) went up 10 times in one day for me. The details are here:
http://www.blakeschwendiman.com/blook/2006/03/results_of_the_digg_effect.html - merchantprince, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I feel like I am not getting something - DIGG has a number of interesting and fun tools that allow you to integrate DIGG buttons on your website or stream your DIGG'd stories to your webpage and all that - but for the fundamental act (DIGG-ing) there is no applet/button/bookmarklet - this is really weird and I don't understand why? Yes there is a third party DIGG toolbar but (1) its got spyware apparently, (2) I want a single button not a whole toolbar and (3) I DO NOT WANT (a) the Google search box (I have one already in Firefox), (b) the DIGG menu, (c) a button for DIGG RSS feeds (I already have an RSS reader), (d) an email notifier and (e) a privacy-cache-deleting thing. I just need a single button that submits stories to DIGG. Isn't this the most necessary act that DIGG members must do? So why are there buttons for everything else but not this?
- nmdmatt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Doesn't even work..now at the least.
- kyrobeshay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Thanks a lot.
- nymphetamine, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2it's good to see that it supports Opera.
- Rotkiv, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1yeah I've been looking for something like this for a while to.
at first I thought, what just a bookmark to the submit page? then I realized it actually pasted the link. really cool. It'd be nice though if it was actually more like the del.icio.us pluggin and not cluttering my bookmarks toolbar. - bestbattery, on 09/05/2008, -0/+0when i meant to get a digg toolbar in official site,I go here.but don't fit me.
- mryakub, on 12/30/2008, -0/+0I have a few websites with google ads, and I sell ebooks and a couple of audio books I produced. I only make a couple of hundred a month, but I was wondering what other people do to make money online. I would love to take it to another level, where I could actually make enough to support my family. Got any ideas?
I see this question all the time and also see some of the other answers others have given you.
First off let me say do not sell pirated movies on ebay you can get in real trouble for that no i know it may seem like an easy way to make money but you can and probably will get in more trouble then just getting banned from ebay for that kind of stuff.
Second surveys are a good way to make small cash but make sure to read the small print.
But if i had to recommend a way it would be by blogging check out this blog it gives free guides on how to make money online.
To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don't just jump right in unprepared.
The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who'd have you believe it's a "Walk in the Park" and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.
And I'll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.
Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?
My answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, "what comes first the chicken or the egg"? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion - I have no clue and I don't think many of us do either.

http://doctor-adsense.blogspot.com - CrookedAsterisk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I have to say I was a bit disappointed in this when I saw that all it does is link to the submit story page with the URL already filled in.
- clickfire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It works for me in IE even if I move it out of the Links directory (I usually keep that hidden anyway). Thanks a mil!
- punkguitarist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very useful. I like it. Saves time and is easy to use.
- alexanderkirk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This has been on blummy almost since it launched: http://blummy.com/config.php?query=digg
- TheCheeta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Let us know when you finish it.
- kyrobeshay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Any way someone can make a little bookmark script that'll do the same thing for safari?
- sahaskatta, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3these are actually quite helpful, because it saves time and is faster than having to copy and paste the url. I currently use an extension called Digg This for firefox and its very small and simple, with one click it submits the url of the page you are on to digg.
NEW Digg Search Widget w/ RSS:
http://www.skattertech.com/2006/03/digg-search-widget/ - ahole, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I was just about to request this as a feature! I think anything that makes participating easier will only help digg as it IS user driven. Expansion into other interest-categories can't be far away. Thanks for the Bookmark-let.
- Marlon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hey;, cool. I was jealous when I saw it on Newsvine. It's about time.
btw: damn blog link! - misterpony, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2There are others out there, too. The one I use came from: http://westoncampbell.blogspot.com/2005/10/firefox-diggcom-bookmarklet.html

http://doctor-adsense.blogspot.com/ - Gigolo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ah i was hoping for something like this. Newsvine has a button and it was so very convenient, that i just felt stupid when i submitted to digg. Now its even.
Newsvine also pops the submission window out into a little well-made comment box type thing. - DigitalDaiquiri, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I'm disappointed, for I expected this to be somewhat like the del.icio.us toolbar for Firefox. All this is is a bookmark. Hopefully we will see a more innovative one in days to come.
- lifesun1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I'll check that safari thing. Thanks for the great update. It will make things easier.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1BAHAHAHAHA.............
Still dugg for entrepreneurial spirit, though! - machx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0IDK why he bothered to post individual browser instructions. just drag the url to your bookmark bar and boom it works.
Seriously I haven't submitted any stories yet, but I agree with this guy that the delicious links are great and now I finally have something for digg now. As for dupes i think that's something thats gonna have to be fixed on digg's side so it pops up some warning at you. - testerburner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1just like the "seed newsvine" button. Still dugg.
- wirjo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Nice. This is going to be useful.
- frobro, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2coool .... THX
- Tripcast, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3+digg quite useful, I've been looking for something simple like this
- fgiDangeresque, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2For those who install and use this piece of software:
'cool!' does not always equal digg.
I havent even bothered to install this, although I am sure a dupecheck feature would go a long way (even if it filters % of dupes) - Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I use the Digg This! extension for Firefox. It adds a "Digg This!" option to your context menu, which means less clutter in your bookmarks toolbar.
http://j.domaindlx.com/diggthis/ - mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1this is very useful, thanks!
- eclipse99, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3No Digg. No news and nothing interesting. Just putting a link inside the toolbar isn't any useful extension or something smart.
