Monitor your Reddit and Digg stories with Social Site Submission Watchdog
May 22nd
It’s nice when one of your posts is submitted to a social site.
It’s even nicer if it is voted, so I use a cool pipe from engtech to monitor Digg and Reddit submissions of my articles. This gives me the opportunity to vote while the stories are still hot.
If you want to go one step further, you can combine this great pipe with some feed-to-im service, like feedcrier, and you’ll be able to be notified of your site submission in seconds.

Here’s some evidence of this theory, and a brief explanation:

Digg Aplogizes and is Gamed Again
Mar 2nd
From the official digg blog, by Kevin Rose:
I also want to point out a couple of important changes to the way Digg blocks URLs that have been reported by our users repeatedly as SPAM or that violate the Digg Terms of Service. We have tweaked some systems so that Digg is now able to be much more granular in the way it blocks offending content, so that Digg doesn’t necessarily need to block entire domains or subdomains. Apologies to any sites we’ve inconvenienced with our previous system.
