Google Subscribed Links allows users to subscribe to XML documents provided by websites. If a subscriber then searches Google for a keyword that matches an item from the XML document, the item is displayed at the top of the results page, and highlighted.

Digg's Google Subscribed Links

I wrote a plugin for WordPress that allows you submit your RSS feed to Google Coop.

Digg API Cocoa framework

I have been secretly preparing in my evil laboratory, a Cocoa framework that makes it ridiculously easy to use the recently-released Digg API.

Track Dugg stories for your domain

I can finally talk about it! Yes, sir, the Digg API has officially been released.

I’ve been playing around with it for a few weeks now, so already got a a little mini app together using the Digg API. It’s a Dugg story tracking service that creates an RSS feed for the stories that have been Dugg for a particular domain. Essentially, all you have to do is type in a domain or subdomain, and subscribe to the resulting feed that you’re presented with. Easy.

New Digg API

Digg have finally officially released their Digg button API. I’ll be working to get the new features into Gregarious as well as finally adding support for videos. Stay tuned!

Gregarious 2.0 Beta 1

It’s finally here… The first Beta of the next generation Wordpress social bookmarking plugin - with more features, options and functionality than ever before. The whole system has been (almost) re-written from scratch. That’s a spinning head, tired brain, and over 1500 lines of code.

Gregarious 2 admin

New features include:

  • Drastically improved UI, organized structure to the admin page
  • PostBadge: unlimited control over the Digg button / Share This link placement, without touching the template
  • Extremely cool “check for updates” feature
  • Addition of template tags digg_button() and share_this()
  • Dynamic overview (pictured above) lets you know the critical details
  • Completely automated alerts and messaging system. The plugin will tell you when something’s wrong. It’s alive!
  • Sweetened up interface using javascript effects, and fam-fam-fam’s silk icons.

Who says Wordpress can’t handle Digg?

A big thank you to all the other Digg plugins out there. The half-implementations, buggy, or just plain annoying plugins were the inspiration behind Gregarious. Alex King deserves a round of applause for his Share This plugin, which comes bundled with (more like merged with) Gregarious. Some of the javascript and CSS from the interface was borrowed from RapidWeaver’s placeholder, and the insertAtCursor function is courtesy of phpMyAdmin.

Plans for the final release include adding a page to view a list of Dugg posts, enabling / disabling the Digg button for certain posts, documentation, built-in help system (for the whole mass of options) and a few more surprises.

This is a Beta test, so it is a condition of usage that you provide feedback, whether it be bug reports, feature suggestions or opinions and desires.
