TechCrunch Mirror - The Power of Digg

2006-03-19T09:06:00.000-08:00

Posted by Michael Arrington

Digg is only a year and a half old, but it is already a significant social force that moves massive attention and traffic around the Internet. As has been noted for some time, it has been steadily closing the gap in alexa comparisons with Slashdot, and now has more than 800,000 average daily visitors. For further comparisons, check out digg vs. dot, a site that looks at crossposts on Digg and Slashdot. From recent personal experience, I can say that Digg certainly sends a lot of traffic to popular stories (whether that traffic ever returns is another story).

And Digg continues to release new features to build community. It now allows ratings of individual comments. And users can now also track the activities of their friends on digg as well.

Along with that power, of course, comes some negative attention as well - specifically people trying to game Digg for their own purposes. It can be as simple as using fake accounts to push a story up to the front page. As the site gets more popular, this becomes harder to do, but the reward (more traffic) also gets correspondingly larger. The increased costs are matched by increased incentives.

The most recent story of abuse is a suggestion that people are using Digg to artificially inflate the price of a public company - Sun - by promoting a rumor that Google may be acquiring the company. Digg has a number of protections in place to guard against bad news - including user flags of suspicious posts.

The Tammy Cell Phone Video Craze Will Not Die

2006-03-14T10:58:00.000-08:00

It has been a little over two weeks since the Tammy NYP home made movie scandal rocked Technorati and the Blogosphere. But, the onslaught of searches for Tammy's underage escapades has decreased very little since stabilizing and remains seemingly constant. Curiosity driven searchers are still wild about Tammy. Technorati filtered any Tammy NYP related blogs into the splog bucket and washed their hands of Tammy. But, Tammy lives. Scott Converse the CEO of Click Caster told feedscott that fortunately or unfortunately porn drives a lot of the technical innovation. Well, it also drives internet traffic to. No surprise here, sex sells right?

Proof: here comes the Bukit Batok Video from Singapore.

"This is an old story, but there is the semi-urban legend that if you mention Chris Pirillo in a blog posting, he will come and post a comment on your blog. This was known as the Chris Pirillo Effect, but the effectiveness of the CPE seems to have degraded over the last year. What the heck - it is worth a try.

However, Joe Anderson seems to want to replace Chris with his own Joe Anderson Effect. Joe writes the Webby’s World blog which is “about technology. It is generally focused on cool websites, hacks, piracy (and ethics) and open-source. Also, there’s quite a bit about the Mozilla programs and Mozilla spirit.“"

TechCrunch scored a bunch of exclusive screenshots of Google's upcoming calendar application. It's apparently a long way away from launch. However, TechCrunch was Crushed due to the onslaught of Digg users, leaving the Google calendar screen shots unviewable. This is called the Digg effect.

67% Chance that God Exists

2006-03-03T01:50:00.000-08:00

"A scientist has calculated that there is a 67% chance that God exists.

Dr Stephen Unwin has used a 200-year-old formula to calculate the probability of the existence of an omnipotent being. Bayes' Theory is usually used to work out the likelihood of events..."

This was the feedscott comment posted on digg:

Do not base your eternal decisions on chance. Ponder this: Humans are the most intelligent creatures on earth yet we can not create and produce ourselves from dust. Cloning is close, but just a copy of the original. If evolution is correct we accidentally were formed and evolved from dust soup. The law of probability states if you roll the dice enough times that all the possible combinations of numbers will appear. So, it is easier to believe that we are just freaks of nature.

There is a veil of time and eternity that separates us from the knowledge of our origin. However, you have a gift of intelligence far greater than any argument on either side of evolution or intelligent design. Your decision to chose and believe in eternal divine existance or accidental temporal nature is yours and yours alone. Some of life's answers can be found externally, but you have to search internally as well. I found a lot of answers to questions I have had for a long time @ http://www.mormon.org/

Can't keep a good tammy tami tammi tamy down

2006-03-02T10:45:00.000-08:00

Noticeably absent from technorati this morning was anything related to Tammy nyp "Tammy nyp" "nyp Tammy" "Tammy download" Tammynyp "nypTammy" and so on. Did I miss any?

The teen student cheerleader from Singapore whose home video recorded on her cell phone has taken the internet by storm was removed, wiped away, and cleaned out of the technorati top fifteen searches. But, Tammy won't stay down or away for long.

Tammy is back with new search spellings: tami tammi tamy and video.

People are coo coo for Tammy Puffs.

feedscott social digital life - I need myspace

2006-02-20T23:50:00.000-08:00

Today, feedscott examines the ways we are connecting socially online. Social online communities have been the norm since the early days of the web as a Bulletin Board System (BBS), where linked minded people posted on like minded topics. Today this online interaction is far more complex. There are hundreds of social software options and communities. Websites are slowly catching on, if they want to be sticky they have to be a social meeting and exchange destination. The typical text forum will no longer cut the mustard. Content such as Personal Pictures, Videos, Music, and contact info are being shared. Some of this content is copyrighted by a third party and used illegally, promoting the online attitude of anything goes, as referenced in this news article about youtube and NBC. Comments have evolved into rankings leading to a popularity contest mentality. Visit the Corante Many 2 Many blog to gain insight into the social digital life culture. Also, check out the dana boyd paper "Identity Production in a Networked Culture" for insights into the myspace.com generation.

feedscott 438 brrreeeport Scoble Microsoft Blogger

2006-02-14T23:24:00.000-08:00

Well, another Valentines Day is in the can and a little word called brrreeeport enjoyed its first day of life with some attention. At 5:22pm on February 13th 2006 Robert Scoble aka (the Microsoft Blogger, Scobleizer, or Scob) had this to say on his blog:

"Here, let’s play a game. Everyone in the world say “brrreeeport” on your blog and you’ll be listed on this Technorati page automatically. Heh. There are also no pages on the Internet linked to for that term on Google, Yahoo, or MSN.

So, now you too can take down the man! Get your due! Get around the gatekeepers. Tell all those A list bloggers to screw off and die! Heheh. Or, you can let me own that term all by myself! Heheh.

Filed under: Blog Stuff, BlogCode, brrreeeport @ 5:22 pm "

The word brrreeeport, slowly began to propogate through blogs around the world. The word is catchy and interesting to look at. The feedscott view tank blog caught wind of the mission at 9:00 am on the 14th and proceeded to set brrreeeport free into the blogging wild. Brrreeeport had appeared on the Techorati most searched for term list along with Cheney, Mohammed Cartoon, Dick Cheney, and Valentine. There were about 90 blog posts with the word brrreeeport. At that time brrreeeport had become more searched than the Mohammed Cartoon so the feedscott view tank post was entitled "brrreeeport beats out the Mohammed Cartoon".

At 11:29am Scoble posted this subject Tips for joining the A list where Scoble gave mention to the feedscott view tank blog title "brrreeeport beats out the Mohammed Cartoon" saying

"Now, look at the 98 brrreeeport results on Technorati. All are on the same topic, right? But some headlines stand out from the noise. Which ones grab your eye? The one that says simply “brrreeeport report?” Or the one that says “brrreeeport beats Mohammad cartoon?” Conflict is a story telling device. Use it in headlines!"

Thanks for the mention and plug Robert!

As the day went on brrreeeport continued to gain blog share and at this time is the #1 most searched word on Technorati, has 227 posts reported, and is in the top five tags being used. To give you an idea of scope Technorati is tracking about 27.9 million blogs and growing every day. So the % of posts is relatively small, but the interest and curiosity is amazing.

The brrreeeport now has t-shirts available online, and some entreprener has registered the brrreeeport domain name. Good luck!

feedscott will keep an eye on brrreeeport.

On a side note Robert Scoble will be in my home state of Colorado for the:

feedscott 436 Google Technorati Krugle Search

2006-02-12T01:33:00.000-08:00

Google is definitely the King of all searches see Nielsen//Netratings , but selective search engines are establishing niches. The search engine market is dividing and becoming more specialized or categorized. Google now lets users personalize their google homepage by providing a search mechanism for rss and atom feeds with an included reader. Technorati now tracks more than 27.7 million blogs and provides multiple options for searching those blogs. Now Krugle is launching a code search engine that will help developers compare and share code. This will greatly increase and pinpoint the select pool of coding examples available. There are literally hundreds of search engines online now from localized to globalized. A great resource is this Search Engine Watch links page. This page has a category called Specialty Search Engines. That category is broken down into Medical, Science, Travel, Shopping, Legal, and others. As great as Google is, don’t limit yourself. Happy Searching!

feedscott 417 Blogs target of US "Cyber Storm"

2006-02-10T23:19:00.000-08:00

In an article from The Economic Times the writer states:

" WASHINGTON: The US government has concluded its "Cyber Storm" wargame, its biggest-ever exercise to test how it would respond to devastating attacks over the Internet from anti-globalization activists, underground hackers and bloggers.

Bloggers?

Participants confirmed parts of the worldwide simulation challenged government officials and industry executives to respond to deliberate misinformation campaigns and activist calls by Internet bloggers, online diarists whose "Web logs" include political rantings and musings about current events."

I guess the morale to the story is big brother is watching, listening, and preparing to put the smackdown on bloggers. " Bloggers?" I feel safer already!

Ladies and Gentleman start your search engines!

Krugle is launching soon and the buz is overwhelming! Krugle is a search engine for code. Code is the software on your computer. I can remember frantically searching google in college for a function to help get my software program working. Google was not really code friendy. Ken Krugler, CTO and Co-founder of Krugle has a plan to change that with Krugle. Ken has worked on projects for ibm, apple and palm. This is going to be a big party if all goes well and should speed up the developement life cycle.

feedscott 396 Cyber Consciousness

2006-02-07T23:21:00.000-08:00

Never before have we had the opportunity to connect like we do now. Not just by means of cell phones, TV, and the internet. This connection relates more to the interconnection of people through different channels, mediums, services, forums, and social interaction in cyber space. We are linking, feeding, streaming, commenting, blogging, reading, listening, and watching real-time news, events, public opinions, and relevance form simultaneously and sequentially. Everyone has their own ideas, opinions, thoughts, and preferences. These intangible agencies are being combined into one Collective Consciousness in Cyber Space. With social bookmaking, tagging, and ranking one can see the importance or relevance to the Collective Consciousness. Some interpretations, outcomes or results may be a bit skewed and off the mark, but this is the nature of imperfection an attribute we all share. This author will not suggest that the Collective Consciousness is a form of life, but in that sense it is a combined cyber extension of our biological brainwaves. See the Wiki for an example of the Collective Consciousness and definitions of words in this weblog.

feedscott 3406 PC Club store closings follow up

2006-02-03T23:37:00.000-08:00

PC Club store closings follow up to this blog.

After a visit to a PC Club today in Colorado, this author learned that customers only have a few days to pick up computers that are in for service before those computers are shipped to California. “Computers may have had service performed or may not when those computers are eventually returned to customers” a PCClub representative stated. Also, customers who have product ready for pick up in the store may do so, but no further sales are taking place.

feedscott 3306 PC Club Computers closes 15 stores

2006-02-02T19:29:00.000-08:00

PC Club computers based in California closed about 15 retail locations across the US today. Employees arrived at work to find the doors padlocked and a sign stating the closure. No prior warning was given to employees or customers.

All three stores in Colorado were closed including some in Arizona, New Mexico, and most if not all of the East Coast stores. Employees are not only concerned for their future, but also about the customers who have computers in for service, or have computers and parts on order or in the stores. The PC Club website gives no explanation about the closures under the News section currently. But, the store locations that were closed have been eliminated from the website listings. Instead of 60 stores the website now lists 43. Visit here again for future updates on these closures.

2006-02-01T18:24:00.000-08:00

Web 2.0 is here, like the buzzword or not. Web 2.0 is a platform or architecture that ushers in a new way that users can interact with websites and web applications. Browsing has been replaced with interaction where users can customize, personalize, and signify the way they view and interface with their computer appliances and applications. Organization and hierarchy of information is now critical to label and file the vast amounts of data and information available. Tags are now playing a major role in categorizing websites, blogs, podcasts, vodcasts, and the associated RSS and other feeds.

One new site called Blinklist.com is taking tags or tagging to a new level. Blinklist which was launched July 2005 offers users the ability to save and tag bookmarks, links, and favorites lists online, accessible from any web enabled browser. The benefits to this are numerous. First, if you are not at your computer and you need to pull up a number of your bookmarks this is now possible. You can also save a bookmark at work and access it from home or wherever. Backing up your links online is also a great idea if your computer happens to crash. There are many other social bookmarking or tagging solutions, but Blinklist offers a more aesthetic and user friendly interface similar to the popular digg.com. Blinklist also offers the option to import links from de.licio.us, furl, and browsers. The Blinklist mother company MindValley founded in October 2003 is expanding into other areas of opportunity including feed tags and ecommerce.

At a recently attended conference hosted by Qwest , voice mail was being imported into Outlook. Currently, many people access voice mail on a phone, browse the web on firefox, get news feeds on Google and Wizz RSS, email from Google and Outlook, and feed podcasts and vodcasts on FireAnt. Consolidation of tasks is now beginning to be trendy as users look for more comprehensive ways to communicate and assimilate information.

Google Labs recently launched a chat aggregator called Google Talk or there is meebo in alpha for chat aggregation. Feeds from reddit, digg.com, slashdot, de.licio.us are being mashed up to form one feed called reddiggdot.us.

As we move toward the next generation of web applications and their integration, technology "goliath" companies like Google and Microsoft will certainly be major players. But, this is forcing smaller “david” companies like MindValley and FireAnt to have further vision, more innovation, better products, and be faster to market to compete with the “microsoft” and “google” “goliaths”.
