For those of you who missed it, Digg Dialogg gives the community an opportunity to submit and vote up questions to be posed to influential individuals and leaders of the moment. These questions are unfiltered by editors or journalists, and represent the most popular questions as voted on by the community. Search Engines News SEO News Digg Digg Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:16:01 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=12631 Hey everyone, Many of you have been following election news on Digg, including our visit to the conventions last month, Digg Dialogg with Nancy Pelosi, and regular updates to Digg the Candidates . The upcoming US Presidential Election this Tuesday, November 4th will be one of the most exciting and closely watched in recent history. We want to give you the opportunity to share your perspective on the election in a creative way, Search Engines News SEO News Digg Digg Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:07:41 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=12393 Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Paul, Sr. Systems Engineer and resident Puppetmaster for Digg. " Puppetmaster ?" I hear you say, "What do puppets have to do with Digg?" Well, that's what I thought I'd write about today. To answer the question, it isn't "puppets", it's Puppet , the open-source configuration management tool, and a relatively new addition to the Operations Secret Sauce here at Digg. Dr. Search Engines News SEO News Digg Digg Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:16:14 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=12164 Hi all - Later today Digg will be undergoing some significant updates, but upon first glance, it may seem that nothing has changed. That's because the changes included in the coming release are 100% under the hood. For the last few months, Digg's developers have been heads down scrubbing, cleaning, porting and improving the core code of Digg. Before I get into the details, I want to give a big thanks to everyone on Digg's development team. Search Engines News SEO News Digg Digg Thu, 16 Oct 2008 20:56:10 GMT http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=11917 In the next week or so, we'll be closing down the podcasts section and folding it into the video section of Digg. We'll also be retiring the old Digg Spy. Both of these features have become outmoded as Digg has grown and as a result they have a very small number of users (under 1,000) each. Podcasts will be rolled into the videos section â€" a better home for longer form videos.

Let's get right into it, shall we? How Many Databases does Digg Have? As Joe hinted in his earlier blog entry , the particulars of how many machines Digg has is one of the most often asked questions, and yet one of the least relevant to Digg employees.

Today we launched two new official Digg Blogs: Community (this one) and Technology.

Scripts/bots place additional load on Digg servers (slowing things down for everyone), so using them is a Terms of Use violation that will result in losing access to your Digg account. We are currently looking deeper into recent script activity. Digg monitors for script/bot activity globally across all our site pages.
