digg's HD-DVD revolt visualized

3 May 2007


yesterday made web2.0 history when a massive user rebellion occured against Digg administrators removing users posting about the copyright encryption key for HD-DVD discs. the movie shows the different visualization techniques from digg labs, more precisely how diggers disappear along with the stories as Digg deletes them

The live pieces on Digg Labs don't actually show stories being deleted from Digg. Swarm, specifically, removes stories from the display either after the story hasn't been dugg in a while, or the total number of stories displayed reaches a reasonable threshold. Diggers similarly disappear when they haven't dugg any of the displayed stories in a while.

So, while it may appear that this video shows stories being deleted and users being banned in realtime, that's actually not the case.
