Added Digg stats to unread articles
I’ve added digg stats to the unread articles. The thought is to crowd source the articles that are weighted low on my personal schema but dug alot. Eventually I don’t want to feel that I need to read every article. By using digg stats I’ll know that the more talked about posts will be brought to my attention and should help with discovering content that is outside what I might normally read.
Right now I have the query engine for digg stats down to about one hour or so for 200 articles, most come back with no diggs. It will run every three hours right now but probably with my reading habits it will only need to run twice aday since it’s function is ancillary to the main function.
I’ll probably add additional sources like reddit, del.icio.us or maybe techmeme if I figure how to plug into it.
