TubeStop
My latest browser extension, TubeStop, is an extension for Mozilla-based Web browsers that disables the autoplay on YouTube.com videos. This means that you can open YouTube videos in multiple tabs without them all starting to play at once. Currently, this extension only works on videos at YouTube.com, not on YouTube videos embedded on non-YouTube.com websites…

On Digg and “Revolution”
Jeff Harrell sums up my thoughts on the matter better than I could have. “What happened last night wasn’t a revolution, […] what happened last night is that a bunch of kids on the playground banded together to beat up another kid, a kid they saw as richer or more powerful or more snotty than…

Digg feeds still broken
It’s been a week since I first brought up the problem with certain Digg Search RSS feeds being broken. I reported the bug through Digg’s “Report a Website bug” form, and I mentioned it here as well. Has a week been enough time to fix what is most likely a simple programming error? No. Initially,…

I’m considering just making it dynamic and allowing people to grab the “Top X Diggers” list by specifying a “?users=x” parameter (where…

Fark launches a redesign, community cries about it
Fark just went live with a new design, and the expected barrage of “Wahhh, I don’t like it, change it back!” comments is in full swing. Having been on the receiving end of these kinds of comments many times myself, I’ll give the new design a little time to sink in before I decide whether…

Buggy RSS feeds at Digg
I just noticed a strange bug with Digg’s RSS feeds: when you subscribe to a feed for a search term (to monitor submissions of your blog posts, for example), sometimes the feed will be invalid because it is missing closing </channel> and </rss> tags. This means that the feed won’t be parsed by most readers,…

Is Digg lowering its standards?
Is Digg lowering its standards for how many votes are necessary for a story to hit the front page? Currently, the top two stories at Digg have 19 and 31 votes and were submitted 6 and 25 hours ago, respectively. Is it just me, or did stories not too long ago need closer to 50…
