How 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.
I’m not sure why [...]
How Useful Is LinkedIn?
Over the last couple of weeks the rate at which I receive invites to link up on LinkedIn has increased, partly because lots of my ntl:Telewest colleagues are sending me invites because they are not sure who will be staying and going as part of the merger.
For those of you who don’t know what LinkedIn [...]
Del.icio.us Deal For Yahoo!
Yahoo! yesterday acquired Del.icio.us, continuing its acquisition spree in the Web 2.0 business, which included the acquisition of Flickr. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Yahoo! make a few more acquisitions. I wondered who would pick up Del.icio.us as it has had a big ‘For Sale’ written all over it for months. [...]

Yet Another Digg Clone - Shoutwire
Shoutwire is yet another Digg clone where users can submit stories and other users can click on the ’shout it’ icon to choose which stories make it to the homepage.

Diggdot.us is a new site that combines the top stories from Digg, slashdot and del.icio.us/popular all in one website. It also removes the dupes.At first I thought what a good idea. I visit so many sites, that even with RSS feeds, it is hard to keep track of each one. But then, [...]

Flock - I Like It!
I received a Flock invite yesterday and I’ve just installed it on my computer, and I have to admit that so far I am very very impressed.
Flock appears to have really focussed on how users surf, find and store sites.
I particularly like how it integrates del.icio.us bookmarks and the integrated blogging tool.
I’m going to play [...]
Populicio.us: Find The Most Popular Del.icio.us Sites
I just discovered a nice new service called Populicio.us in my referral stats this morning. Populicio.us lists the most popular sites associated with bookmarks on del.icio.us. Rather than just showing the top sites of all time, Populicio.us shows the fastest growing new links.
This gives smaller sites like mine a chance to get featured, [...]
Reddit: A New Digg-like Service
I’ve just discovered a new social bookmarking service where users have editorial control similar to Digg, called Reddit.
Although Reddit currently has nowhere near the levels of usage that Digg does, it does introduce some new ideas to the genre.
Reddit decides which articles are displayed on the homepage based on their popularity. Popularity is calculated [...]
