Digg gets Images

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

In honor of Digg implementing their image section I added Facebook Share preview support to my Cool Pictures site. Now anyone digging or sharing images on facebook will get a handy thumbnail preview. I’m also working on more robust user features so that more people can add, save and rate their favorite images to the site.

First Project Takes off

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Its been about 10 days since I started my cool pictures project. I’ve added a lot of new features like an RSS Feed, sitemap, stats and easy navigation. I still want to give people the ability to upload and create their own niche communities. I have a few other ideas that I’ll keep under wraps for now.

In the last 3 days over 9,000 unique IPs have been to the site and viewed 66,000 images and consumed 10 gigabytes of bandwidth. The majority have come from Stumble Upon which is a really great tool bar. I’ve been using it for about a month already and I usually read things before they ever appear on the other big social bookmarking sites. Personally, I think SU is what Digg should have become.
