Stack Overflow, a Digg/ Reddit-style site where you can ask & answer programming questions, has an interesting “Badges” system. Badges are labeled with titles like “Guru”, “Nice Answer”, “Scholar”, “Autobiographer”, “Specialist” and so on, and come in the colors bronze, silver and gold. For instance, “Autobiographer” means that you completed all of your user profile fields. “Scholar” means you earned your first accepted answer. A “Self-learner” is someone who answered their own question with at least 3 up-votes.

AddToAny, maker of easy-sharing and feed subscription widgets of the ShareThis and AddThis variety, gets a power boost today.

The new version of the utility involves an easily navigable tabbed interface, visible tallies of page promotion made with the social bookmarking services Digg and Delicious, prioritized placement of some services over others, and a so-called “Color Chooser” to customize the look of the device. Better to adapt to certain website stylings, for sure. An official AddToAny WordPress plugin also made its debut recently.

When I set out to update John Chow dot Com to Version 3, one of the main objectives was to speed up page load time while being able to handle a large volume of traffic. The key to doing that is by turning the contents of the blog into a static page. This is where the WP Super Cache comes in.

Yesterday I noticed, as I am sure a number of people noticed, that Digg was requiring me to enter a captcha to comment or shout on the site.captcha Got Digg Captcha... Dont Worry pictureNow before you get upset or mad about seeing a captcha on your Digg comments or shouts, remember that captcha is not new to Digg and if they had wanted to inforce a captcha on the entire site then they could have done so from day one.

So, just thought I'd share with those of you who aren't Digg regulars...we (Digg regulars) believe this is the first Cyber Revolt of all-time. Digg (http://www.digg.com) has prided themselves for years for not being edited or moderated or censored - and simply anything and everything that anyone wants to put up, will. People submit stories, and stories with the most points (diggs) are put up on the front page. When I say everything and anything, I mean it...there have been a couple of illegal activities and stories about everything from how to crack Vista, to how to get free stuff out of vending machines...which many more, those were the only ones that come to the top of my head. Yes, full step-by-step video instructions!

Check this site, dandelife.com, out....it's like a "digg" for people's life stories!

Excellent list of influential and entertaining comic books and graphic novels. Shouldn't digg have a category for books, or graphic art?
