Help With WordPress Timestamps
I just made a post on Scoble’s site to try and work out when the current Digg outage following the Digg upgrade started. It made me realise that WordPress.com timestamps are all displayed in the blog owners local timezone.
I hope that’s not the case on WordPress hosted blogs, as it will make it hard [...]
Moderation Is Not The Same As Censorship!
I’m really getting tired of blogs that don’t allow free discussion! I’m more than happy to lead my readers make their point, even if it involves them being critical of me. A recent comment by Saul is a classic example.
However, there are certain blogs such as Valleywag who seem to think that Moderation [...]
Hitwise Review Threshers Disastrous ‘Viral’ Campaign
Heather Hopkins from Hitwise has produced an interesting analysis of the online fiasco over at Threshers this week.
For those of you who missed it, Threshers, the high street off-license (AKA wine store) sent a 40% discount voucher around to suppliers and distributors. Unfortunately they didn’t factor in the power of email, and the offer spread [...]
I Think I Know Why I’m Banned From Digg
I just read a story on John Chow Dot Com which has just been banned by Digg, just like my site. At least in John’s case, Digg had the decency to respond to his email query:

Quotiki looks like it could be interesting for all of 5 minutes. This new site lets you submit your favourite quotes, which if voted upon by other readers rise to the top just like Digg. I don’t think the site will be a major destination site, but it could become a useful destination if you’re [...]

I remember how excited I was about Digg when I first heard about it, and how I nearly wet myself the first time I got on the Digg homepage as I couldn’t believe the amount of traffic I was getting. Digg was a great concept when it came out i.e. letting readers choose what [...]

Because I haven’t had a lot of spare time recently, it’s been a real chore going through my RSS feeds because I don’t have time to go through all of them just to pick out the interesting articles. My digg feed helps, because anything interesting tends to hit Digg, but recently I’ve discovered Techmeme. Techmeme [...]
16Nov2006 | Everton | 0 comments | ContinuedHow Do You Get A Digg Ban Lifted?
Connected Internet has a dark secret - it’s banned by Digg. A couple of months ago, readers started emailing me to say they were having problems submitting articles. Despite emailing abuse@digg.com numerous times, I haven’t been able to get the ban lifted. They won’t even reply to my emails.
