Digg Labs Launches

Digg Labs: A broader and deeper view of Digg

Digg moves very quickly, and has a great many stories submitted every day, so good material can sometimes fly by before you even know it. These interactive visualizations look beneath the surface of the Digg community’s activities.

Digg Stack

Digg Stack shows diggs occurring in real time on up to 100 stories at once. Diggers fall from above and stack up on popular stories. Brightly colored stories have more diggs.

The visualization has three modes: all activity, popular, and newly submitted stories.

Digg Swarm

Digg Swarm draws a circle for stories as they’re dugg. Diggers swarm around stories, and make them grow. Brightly colored stories have more diggs.

The visualization has three modes: all activity, popular, and newly submitted stories.

An in depth story will follow soon.

Update: Digg falls short of its own success. Indeed Digg has been digg effected. Digg labs is not working for the moment, but Kevin is promising it will be back as soon as they have added enough servers.

Update 2: Both services are back again.
