Digg removes its controversial tool: "Shout", Monday, June 08, 2009
   
 

Digg, the popular social bookmarking site had utilized the feature of Shout.This allowed its users in order to share their links with one another and it was the only communication tool. Now the feature of Shouts is replaced with Facebook and Twitter.

Shout made it easier for users to send a story they liked the most directly to other people who employed Digg.In certain circumstances,it was very useful and it helped in some of the stories to catch more attention.On the other hand,shouts was mostly utilized for spamming due to which some users decide to turn it off.Another major problem with this feature was that those links, stories that received shouts were better rated .Due to this, all the users started shouting most of their stories.

Digg in the beginning tried to reduce the value of Shouts tool,in order to eliminate the above problems,but finally removed it completely.Now Digg had added buttons to enable sharing of stories on Facebook or on Twitter.This big move has a possibility of driving more people to Digg,though it enables people to drive people to other sites.

Enhancements in Digg, Wednesday, April 15, 2009
   
 

The social bookmarking site Digg has improved significantly.The main aim of digg is to deliver the best stories at the top of the results.In addition to the improved user interface,the following additional changes have been implemented:

1.A faceted model for filtering results means that it is possible to cut your results by factors like Digg count, topic, time, etc. It provides sufficent information about your query and enables you to drill down to your result much more effectively.

2.Advanced shortcuts enable those who are searching for stories with specific promotion characteristics to filter in an effective manner. Include +p to your query for only promoted stories, +u for upcoming stories, and +b for buried.

3.Widely used search tricks like putting your query in quotes for an exact match and adding a negative sign before the term (i.e., -term) to remove that term from your results is possible.

4.Digg has ensured that search is faster now too.

5.A graph depicting the relative number of search results by month for the past several years provides some visibility into the trend of a particular query term over time.
