Digg Sharing is Flawed

Ever since Digg launched profiles, the usefulness, quality, and reputation of Digg has been on the decline. What's moving up is SPAM. If you disagree with that statement, Google it - You'll find nearly a million links with a similar opinion. 

After the profiles launch, Digg became littered with bosh (nonsense) and became a spam breeding ground. Take a look at the Digg sharing feature below. Note how incredibly easy it is to instantly send a shout (story message share) to all your friends. Its SPAM friendly features like this that are hurting Digg. Removing the "Shout to All" button would go a long way to restore Digg's quality. 


Below is a perfect example how story sharing should be. The image below was taken from nobosh.com. Notice how the sharing feature has no one-click share to all your friends button. This UI decision has gone a long way to keep spam out of nobosh and leave nobosh with no nonsense, no bosh, nobosh community.

Feedburner Request: Real-Time Feed Stats

Dear Google,

Recently I've been spending time analyzing nobosh feeds on Feedburner. 

As you know, Feedburner is a fantastic free service that allows publishers to host a cached version of a feed on Feedburner's servers. nobosh utilizes Feedburner as it greatly reduces the load on the nobosh servers. Anyhow, back to the point of the post. After Google purchased Feedburner, one of the first actions was to make all Feedburner services such as Feedburner Stats completely free (Thanks Google). Feedburner Stats is a nice analytics tools that allows publishers to view the following stats on a feed: subscribers, live hits,  items uses, and uncommon uses. 

For some reason, the Feed Stat service has a reporting delay, unlike Google Analytics. As a publisher, I'd love to be able to view feed's stats in real-time.
