In place of sponsored links along the right-hand side of the results, we're displaying image ads. We're using a new advertising system, so please let us know what you think; we want to make sure the advertising is complimentary to the rest of the site experience.We'll be testing several different advertising options over the next few daysweeks, so please let us know your thoughts.

The system is designed to ensure that an ad is only displayed at specific intervals. It seems that the changes may have thrown a monkey wrench into things, and some folks are reporting multiple views of the same ad. I'm hoping that this will stabilize over the next few days, but if you are seeing weird behavior, please get in touch so we can do our best to fix it. Users of Thunderbird are of particular interest, as we've gotten.http://www.blogdigger.com/blog/2006/02/looking-for-feed-feedback.html FeedFlare API- February 9, 2006 FeedBurner just announced their FeedFlare API, which lets third parties (like Blogdigger) integrate their services so FeedBurner users can add them to their feeds.I did some quick coding and added link counts via Blogdigger's Link search to FeedFlare.

A number of factors have combined to push usage of Blogdigger to new levels. Although I haven't blogged much about it, addressing this rapid growth has been pretty much the main focus of my time over the past two months. We have made several improvements, each of which, for one reason or another, soon became irrelavent.http://www.blogdigger.com/blog/2006/02/on-performance-and-scalability.html |
