These days there are labs everywhere…
I’ve just discovered that Digg has Labs too.
At the moment there are two ‘experiments’ available, both using Flash: Stack and Swarm.
Digg Stack shows diggs occuring in real time on up to 100 stories at once. Diggers fall from above and stack up on popular stories. Brightly colored stories have more diggs.
The visualization has three modes: all activity, popular, and newly submitted stories.
Digg Swarm draws a circle for stories as they’re dugg. Diggers swarm around stories, and make them grow. Brightly colored stories have more diggs.
The visualization has three modes: all activity, popular, and newly submitted stories.
Besides the use of Flash, it’s really interesting to see how the news/stories pop up!
I can think of something similar for links, with del.icio.us.
