News with Digg and how it relates to Traffic-Bug
October 17th, 2009 | Author: mike
Just recently there has been some breaking news over at Digg. So what’s going on over there with those guys?
Digg has removed the display of thumbnails of avatars of submissions that appear in the Digg home page. This was posted as an announcement in the Digg blog a few days ago. This is aimed as an improvement to server performance and seen as aiding faster page loads.
There has been another concurrent development. Digg raised the limit of stories that could be ‘dug’ by a single user, from 200 to 300. Then this magical figure was put back at ‘unlimited’ allowing unlimited number of ‘diggs’ per user account.
Speculation has it that Digg noticed a decrease in user activity (number of diggs) due to the limits placed on digging. People had to be more judicious in their use of the daily digg quota and thus the Digg usage decreased.
This new development does mean that Traffic-Bug will re-review Digg as a potential option to be added to the service. With the post restrictions they had in place Digg was not a viable option as it would be a nonstop battle creating new accounts. We will be testing Digg and possibly adding it to the service in the next bookmark update.

I have read Digg alot but not used it yet in any IM campaigns. But I am going to start using it now after you post shed some light on it.
Great news Michael. I used to use Digg for getting my sites indexed within 24 hours but that dried up months ago. It’s still a great place for links though.
Digg is the powerhouse of social news and networking, so having it built into Traffic Bug would be a huge bonus and motive for me to purchase the software. I’m looking forward to future updates about TB as well
I took some pictures on my iphone and i want them onto my computer. does anyone know how to transfer them? thanks.

I am quiet curious about TB, have bene using it for few months now have not really seen any particular increace in backlinks i still believ its a fantastic tool. Would love to know what the future holds and what si planned. For now I keep faith!
Hello Mansoor,
Are you getting the emails from directories and search engines? I believe only two search engines out of the 139 that we submit to send email confirmations…but you should be receiving nearly an email per week from a directory as a confirmation that your link has been submitted.
Those pesky directories can take their sweet time adding your submission into their directories. The downfall of “Free Directories” and even the more reason it would be a pain to do them by hand. Though as soon as they start kicking in you should seem them in waves.
Also in roughly ten days our new update will be out! *jumps for joy*
You will see a massive improvement nearly right away. We are adding 75 new powerful social bookmarking accounts. On top of that we have done some code fixing to fix the current 50 social bookmarks we submit to. You are really going to like this!
Thanks,
Michael R Roberts
Besides not being able to make calls or place texts messages, whats the difference between the two. Can the iphone do other things the touch can not?
