Social news phenomenon
Digg has
launched a site where users can test new features.
Digg
Labs, similar to
Google
Labs, offers early access to functions in development.
Two test applications currently available,
Stack
and
Swarm,
are designed to give users a broader view of content on the main Digg site.
'Stack' gives a visual representation of popular stories. Each vote, or Digg,
for a story is represented by a block falling from the top of the screen. These
blocks stack up at the bottom, showing the popularity of various stories.
'Swarm' shows stories as circles which expand as more people vote for the
item. As users move around the site voting on items, their activity can be seen
moving from circle to circle.
A note on the
Digg
blog says: "You might see enormous diggers moving quickly from story to
story; those seem to be people digging without taking the time to read stories.
"
The current projects were created in association with
Stamen
Design. A public API is in development which will allow other users to
create applications based on Digg data.
