Digg Labs Stack and Swarm

“There’s a new set of tools from the Digg Labs: Digg Stack and Digg Swarm. Both tools allow you to see another view of how stories are being submitted and ranked to Digg. Digg Stack has a Tetris-feel; you can watch Diggs happening in real time, mouse over the stacks to get more information about the story, and zoom in and out for a different view. You can also filter your Stacks to show popular, newly submitted, or all stories. Digg Swarm does pretty much the same thing, except it’s a different visual (circles and Digg-er swarms). You can mouse over the circle “spikes” to see individual Digg user names. Either view is a fascinating way to watch the Digg

effect.”
