    • LouCypher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"laugh, it's funny."

      @Kevin Cornwell
      If it isn't funny I'd bury it as spam ;p
    • guytoronto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I don't get it.

      How do I enter the website?

      There's this rounded box on the front page that says "Enter the Website" but there are no instructions beyond that.
  • sc0ticus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10The UI has too much Web 2.0 snaziness for my tastes.

  • wonboodoo, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1A sad attempt at humor that should never have made the Digg technology front page. Boring and lame, and marked as such.

  • chicagobob14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I love the comments in page ... read this:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This page was generated in 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000379 seconds on 12/10/2006 5:58:11 PM (pretty effing fast!)

    Aside from digg.com, the best site in the universe, any other site with the highest referral count in my logs stats will get coffee on me (Kevin)!

    TODO:
    Add a third page that links to my ad laden sites.
    Create a forum to dicuss streamlining and dumbing down site.
    Spam the internet with links to IdiotProofWebsite.com (IPW).
    add mobile devices to awstats
    Buy some coffee.
    Create a large "Rent this adspace banner"
    Get broadband.
    Test drive the new Lamborgini Murcielago. http://www.fantasycars.com/1/2001/Murcielago/murcielago.html **no, it's not my site
    Hire theonesteve for IPW 3.0 interface.
    Write a digg.com targeted blog... "How to register, host, develop, get 100+ diggs in 24 hours and have it NOT make the front page of digg.com." :D

    OTHER NOTES:
    sc0ticus doesn't like my web 2.0 snaziness. :(
    thekidder may be right but he missed something :P
    we have our first bonefide idiot: AbortedFetus. lol
    Reizers: shhhhhhhh!!!
    see, the site is back up and everthing is fine.
    beelz, you know i did. did you?
    ok, time for bed. peace. 12/05/2006 2:00 AM.
    whatchu talkin bout mcraigw?
    spacebar14, don't beg. ;)
    rss is for bitches.
    awstats is being reworked. should be updated soon. -done. (real stats updates every 15 minutes)
    Joe Cartoon Gerbil. pffft.
    thanks bhavi. that's a great idea!
    is joe cartoon gerbil cool?
    86 diggs in 20 hours, 15 minutes and still no DIGG.COM front page. :(
    IPW 2.0 update: AJAX enabled the site.
    I think we did make the technology home page. not sure. can someone confirm somehow?
    ok, joe cartoon gerbil is cool. my bad.
    At the advice of my lawyer, added copywrite notice. n/m it complicates the slick look of the site.
    ha ha? are you laughing at me assasein84? :(
    firefox kicks ass yo
  • toinoi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've also heard it said "Make something idiot proof...and they just invent a better idiot" :)

    Great stuff Kevin!

    Cheers...
  • kcornwell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ok, so I had to trim the comments down. are you mad? maybe I'll put them back, maybe i won't. I'm mad at digg.com. the site never made it to the front page and it's all your fault.
