Digg joins real-time trend
November 6, 2009
Social news pioneer Digg has joined the likes of Twitter and YouTube by adding it’s own real-time feed to the site homepage calling the feature (drumroll please..) Digg Trends.
The feature works by by identifying those stories that are generating a significant buzz, and then displaying them on the homepage for keen Diggers to either Digg or bury an article over a ten minute window. Based on the community decision during that time frame the fate of the story will be assured.
As real-time search and trends become increasingly popular it’s good to see another social media stalwart join the party. You can check the latest trending stories over on Twitter to join in the fun, and should a Moreover blog post ever reach the dizzy heights of Digg Trends remember to Digg, Digg, Digg!
