DiggSuggest - Using the Digg API to find stories for you!
diggsuggest.smashsworld.com — I wrote this script a few nights ago and have been playing with the results. It builds a local cache in a MySQL DB of stories then compares them to both your Digging history and their current popularity to give you great suggestions on what to Digg next! Feedback please, and Digg-it-up.

- sbader, on 03/20/2008, -5/+17thread hijack: Is digg's search function currently broken? it's only pulling stories that were submitted before yesterday's maintenance?
- Audacitor, on 03/20/2008, -2/+27thread hijack: Once again, Digg's entire team of developers have been served by a single determined programmer working in his spare time.
- jemka, on 03/20/2008, -2/+22thread hijack: I just wanted to say thread hijack.
- bstew22, on 03/21/2008, -6/+9Thread hijack: seriously... i'm still wondering 'who let the dogs out'.
- dasdef, on 03/21/2008, -2/+5who who who who who?

- TenebrousX, on 03/21/2008, -1/+11Did digg's search ever work?

- sbader, on 03/20/2008, -2/+14Nice api, I could see this becoming as popular has the friend's activity page, but do the article titles need to be so big?
- sdix00, on 03/21/2008, -1/+0This is GREAT!! Surprised to see so many political stories. Pretty sure I usually digg mostly boobs. Oh, wait, I get it now.

- imacommi, on 03/20/2008, -0/+42I think digg needs a better filter for friend content. anyone with me?
- sbader, on 03/20/2008, -1/+15Another suggestion could you make it leave off things that you have already dugg by the user you're searching by?
- stejules, on 03/21/2008, -1/+2Yeah sbadey thats a good question, I also don't like it that everybody sees articles from other digger which he has dugg, better is people see what the digger which name someone is looking fo, has dugg!
;D

- Ricochetbiscuit, on 03/20/2008, -1/+9interesting... I like it!
- m1ck, on 03/20/2008, -1/+3nice i like it
- koltregaskes, on 03/20/2008, -1/+24Good idea, definitely remove articles you've already dugg. Does it need to go to the dugg page if you digg anything on your page? No problem with the article title text for me.
- Z0om, on 03/20/2008, -0/+7awesome smash.. good job
- MrB398, on 03/20/2008, -8/+3I don't know how accurate this is, I don't remember looking at any of the stories it was showing me
- smash, on 03/20/2008, -1/+24No... it suggests new stories based on your previous digging habits. :)
- MrB398, on 03/20/2008, -0/+6ahh ok, that makes more sense. Ok I give it a Digg
- smash, on 03/20/2008, -1/+24No... it suggests new stories based on your previous digging habits. :)
- GangsterCompute, on 03/20/2008, -3/+2Daily Me
- jasonsalas, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2great name...better copyright it fast! (unless someone already has)
- smash, on 03/20/2008, -1/+19I'm actually pretty proud of how quickly I turned this project around, it's definitely solid.
- ferrariman60, on 03/20/2008, -0/+8It's pretty cool, but here's some feedback: It's a little indiscriminate. I would set it up so that it only tracks keywords that were dugg at least X times (maybe make it a percentage of total diggs? I'm not too sure here). I think it's got damn near everything I've ever dugg, which is fine, but it's not as focused as it could be. Other than that, it's a great idea, and I'm behind this 100%. Keep it up!
- jasonsalas, on 03/21/2008, -0/+2good job! very impressive.
- sdix00, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1Hey Smash, I like it! Make sure you have a feedback mechanism for suggestions for improvement/enhancement once your Digg falls off the front pages. Maybe a comment module on the diggsuggest page.
- Sqlawl, on 03/20/2008, -0/+5Some filters would be nice, but other than that it's pretty solid.
- NathanCH, on 03/20/2008, -0/+4Sounds pretty neat. Though, I come to digg to see a variety of stories that I wouldn't be looking for.
- xpose, on 03/20/2008, -6/+5I looked at what it fetched and I wasn't interested in any of it. How about you guys?
- stejules, on 03/21/2008, -0/+3My first view I thought the same xpose!
- ThePerkins, on 03/20/2008, -12/+0digg this comment and you will soon receive great riches.
- joeycerone, on 03/20/2008, -0/+9very cool. a quick search gave me like 5-6 stories I hadn't seen yet that were of interest to me. I'll be using this daily. thanks.
- TnTBass, on 03/20/2008, -0/+3How far back in your history does it search?
I'm not sure if I just digg a lot of Apple or Microsoft stories and that is the reason I've got a lot of results for those, or if it's just pulling some of the recent articles I've dugg.
Cool app though. I've been playing with a few different usernames. - seandfeeney, on 03/20/2008, -0/+5Good Job! This might actually get people to digg good stories that are not on the popular page.
- stejules, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1yes that is a good answer I like it ;D, you are right it is sometimes so bad that good articles won't become popular because of something socially went wrong.
;D

- kkiran, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1Thats a cool project but I want email alerts of the topics I mostly digg on, it shouldn't be difficult to implement but yeah, thanks for exposing the API buddy, I never knew it existed!!
- surKaz, on 03/20/2008, -0/+2It great.. I tested it out and the stories it suggests do interest me (some more than others)..
Bookmarked.. I'll be using it from now on... - o2sk8, on 03/20/2008, -7/+1You should rename it FanboySuggest because it's only really good for showing you things you already are a fanboy of. It's pretty good at doing that though.
- Centorio, on 03/20/2008, -2/+2I love it. I might make this my new HP.
- alanocu, on 03/20/2008, -0/+2fantastic! great job smash!
- SSUK, on 03/20/2008, -0/+2Should be integrated into Digg. It's awesome.
- robotbebop, on 03/20/2008, -3/+0So now people won't even have to read the site to mindlessly digg up anything that's libertarian, pro-linux, anti-MS, or wild conspiracy theory? What a great idea!
- aguyingilbert, on 03/20/2008, -0/+2This is really cool. Nice job
- neowolfwitch, on 03/20/2008, -0/+2This is fantastic! Dugg!
- someguy92, on 03/20/2008, -0/+16This is amazing, but could be so much better if I could get an rss feed.
- rodrigo74, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1This is actually quite cool.
- MykeXX, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1Stumbleupon?
- HydrogenOxide, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1...
There are a billion submissions on BD+ coming to PS3 firmware 2.20
Great system nonetheless. - rtatay, on 03/20/2008, -0/+2you should display the domain names
- smash, on 03/20/2008, -0/+2done.
- TimmyOToole, on 03/20/2008, -1/+6In Soviet Russia, stories in MySQL tables find you!
- iNunchuk, on 03/20/2008, -1/+2Half the stories there that have no diggs lead you to this TV downloading site, buried because he's trying to advocate one company.
- fdisc0, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1yeah it's a good idea. unfortunately, it did not work well for me what so ever. i won't be using it. but don't want to discourage from future attempts.
- gosmart4u, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1Very cool!!! :)
- boing11, on 03/20/2008, -0/+3All I got was a bunch of stories with 1 digg, that I really didn't care about. Neat idea, but didn't work for me.
- say592, on 03/20/2008, -0/+1Wow, this is GREAT!
I know its in beta, but it is already amazing, and has alot of potential. This could be worked into a Mozilla extension, and it would be so really handy.
I was able to Digg a few stories in just a couple seconds. I always like helping those up and coming stories! - steelclash84, on 03/20/2008, -1/+2It's an interesting concept, but you would not be able to use only this. If it based story exposure on what you've already dugg, then there is not chance to be exposed to different content. You'd never move out of your norm.
- serff, on 03/20/2008, -0/+3Add a bury link. That should help get things that don't match off of there too. cool stuff. thanks!
- thidranki, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1i appreciate the work on the project. My only suggestion would be to allow the user to only pull stories from a specific category.
- stejules, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1I came along here and see that my dugg Mashable - DiggSuggest. Is this Necessary? http://digg.com/tech_news/Mashable_DiggSuggest_Is_ ... looks similiar to this monster Digg above and thought Damn went there something wrong with the algorythm or the database, but then I see that everything is ok not only different headline also different content. Puh.
Wanna invite all people who are interested in this api to discuss and inform me and all other digger round here.about their usage and experience with that tool
Thanx to smash for this tool I think it could be very helpful in a lot things.
;D

- rjinso, on 03/21/2008, -2/+0In Soviet Russia, internet diggs you?
- isntreal, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1Source please?
- serrebi, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1This is awsom. Props to you.
- fuxjoey, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1what both digging history and submitting history.
- spammishking, on 03/21/2008, -2/+1According to your algorithm I enjoy Vista, 15 year olds, and public sex....Damn I'm a sick bastard
- jasonsalas, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1VERY nice work. good job..totally rad.
- AManWithNoName, on 03/21/2008, -0/+1Very nice. My feedback though: I'd like to be able to filter articles out...I digg a LOT of Obama articles, so it basically gave me a page full of articles with the word Obama in them. Small problem, I don't care about EVERY little thing Obama does.
Hmm, let me clarify that. I mean, let me check boxes or something based on the keywords so that it can just not show me Obama articles.
Anyways, cool tool, dugg and bookmarked! - ivansusanin, on 03/21/2008, -1/+1this really blows. seriously. not a single one of the stories it suggested were interesting to me. buried as inaccurate.
