Digg Deeper with Digg Days
One of the things we get to do from time to time is take the technology we’ve built and focus it in a new way. First we did this for videos with TimeTube for YouTube, next we focused on images from Flickr with Tickr and now we give you Digg Days for Digg.
The greatest thing about Digg is that you can see what’s hot right now across a wide range of categories. The problem is, if you’re new to the site, or if you can’t remember that story someone sent you a couple weeks ago it can be hard to find. Enter Digg Days.
Basically, we took the Digg API, Dipity API and built a mashup that gives you a few great ways to Digg deeper. You get the top story for each day, in each category, since the day Digg launched. All this data is naturally organized on the Dipity timeline, list, map and flipbook views. You can also do a keyword search to find all the matching stories and they get ranked by the total number of Diggs.
So far, Digg Days has been Dugg over 1000 times and from the comments, people love it. While there’s been no formal endorsement from Digg as an ‘official tool’ it’s great that a service like Digg allows creative people to build interesting things on top of their service in areas they’d likely never have the time explore.

Nice. “Best Ever” search is my fav.
