» DuggBack and Digg Button
By ivc at 02:58, May 6, 2007
Late last week I finished a project that I’ve been working on for 3 months. It’s called DuggBack and it complements the Digg.com website and makes it easy to find available mirrors and caches of webpages that’s been made popular and hit by the ‘Digg Effect’. The official launch was on Monday and the website has got a fairly good reviews on a couple of news sites. And of course some of the massive Digg traffic.
Another cool thing I built this week is a Digg Button with 3-digit display and Atmel microcontroller, and functions just like the HTML sibling. The complete kit costs $15 and $1 out of that goes to EFF.

duggback is cool but i think it would be more useful to users if it was integrated into the browser itself. i’d take the live and mirror tabs that you have and put them right on the browser. i know they’re dynamic so maybe it’s similar to a drop down of rss feeds. no offense, but i dont want to have to go to your site to find the mirror/get to content. this would break your ad model though (bummer). oh, and i’m thinking for everything, not just digg… any thoughts? ps – digg counter, cool.
