Peer Into The Minds Of Digg Users: Digg Adds New Photo Visualization

Nick Gonzalez

14 comments »

With the help of Stamen Design, Digg has added a new way to visualize their recently added photos category. Stamen has done a great job on the other visualizations, and photos is no exception.

The “pics” visualization lets you view streams of photos as they are Dugg. Each major category has its own stream (technology, offbeat, world & business, science, entertainment, gaming, lifestyle, sports). Digg users love technology and offbeat stories, but lag in the sports category. Surprise, surprise.

    Diggers’ intelligence are limited by the following:

    1. Apple/Mac
    2. NSFW
    3. Celebrity gossip
    4. LOLcat
    5. stupid pictures
    6. stupid stories

    “Digg Adds New Photo Visualization”

    Who cares, really.

    Why do sites like TC still think people care about Digg and whatever their latest feature is? Because they might hit that front page?

    @Alaska Miller,

    You forgot about all those Ron Paul stories on Digg. That’s easily #2.

    @kevin And apparently OLPC, judging by what was on when I took the screenshot.
