Put a Digg Button on Your Blog With WLW

sarahintampa — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:56:00 GMT

Frank Arrigo recently revealed his trick for adding Digg buttons to the posts on his blog: he does it with Windows Live Writer. If you haven’t seen that option in your version of Windows Live Writer, that’s because the option is only available in the recently released Windows Live Writer Technical Preview. Essentially, this release is a beta app, so if you’re not one for trying out products before they go gold, then you’ll want to wait a bit. However, if that doesn’t phase you, I would definitely recommend that you check it out – I’ve been using it since its release and haven’t run into any issues yet. Besides, it comes with cool tools like that Digg button as well as a ton of other new features (see a full review here). There are even great plugins available that can take advantage of its new feature that lets plugins run after you hit publish – like this plugin to send out a tweet (a Twitter update) after posting. To get your hands on the new Windows Live Writer, you can download it from here. The “Digg It” button will be available right from the “Insert” menu.

Would you Sell?

Lately tech news has been filled with who is buying who and who is worth how much. Craig Newmark of Craig's list says he has no plans on selling even though he could get millions. You tube just sold to Google for a billion plus. Kevin Rose had the business weekly article stating he is worth about sixty million thanks to DIGG. Now, those that have created these sites are obviously passionate about what they do and what they have created. I think to myself would I sell? What would be enough to sell? Obviously there are many factors like trends, potential worth, yada yada. But I gotta tell ya, absolutely I would sell. To have the ability to retire and travel the world and sleep in every single day. :) The question is ...how much is enough?

I went down to San Francisco to check out the release of digg V3 and I ran into my old buddy Alex Albrecht. Alex is currently the co-host of diggnation with Kevin Rose while also pursuing his acting career down in LA. We laugh, we cried, we talked about old times on G4 and Tech TV- but most importantly, we learned how diggnation came about and the amazing success story behind digg.com. Watch and learn.

Digg V3 launches complete with categories, visualization, and over-exposed excitement

The launch party for DIGG version three was the place to be in San Francisco this weekend. The new version will include visualization of the Digg organism in real time, not to mention many more categories including a separate space for videos, all of which can naturally be experienced separately through the aggregator of your choice. In honor of the white-hot amount of excitement around this site revision, we present our interview with Kevin Rose in white-hot excitement mode.
