Amazing Digg Tools Collection
Looking for Digg tools, hacks and services for a powerful Digg experience? Digg is a technology news website that combines social bookmarking, blogging, RSS, and non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allow an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do and thereafter Digg can act as an online traffic generator for your link. Read more about the Digg Story.

Diggnation is a podcast hosted by Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht that serves as a week-in-review of the most popular stories on the website Digg.com. Getting a link promoted on Digg can increase site traffic quickly. I am a regular visitor to Digg, and this is an attempt to combine all Digg tools in one place.
Most of these tools are now closed and we have still maintained a list here for archival purposes.

Thank you very much for this extensive list. I had been so desperately seeking for the better control of my Digging activities. Thank you again!
Great list, my personal favorite is the DiggGraph. One can never have too many ways to digg content.
Good list of digg tools. Thanks for the resource. I have already checked out a good number of those links.
DiggBeep – Hear your stories getting digged!
DiggBeep is my new GUI program. It sits on your traybar and monitors your most recent stories. If you are a digg addict and want to know about your story’s appeal you’ll love this.
DiggBeep will show you how many people digged each of your stories and how many people left comments using a simple MSN-like interface. You can also hear a sound when any of your monitored stories gets digged or commented while you do other stuff with your pc (Optional). All you have to do is run diggbeep and enter your digg.com username.
Hello! I’ve got a question.
While searching for new friends by a city or country, is it possible to view recently active users only?
Try going to “Friends” > “Add Friends” > “Search Friends” and then search let’s say “New York”. You’ll get like 1,676 pages of users and most of them are inactive. Is there a tool that would allow to search recently active users only?
Thanks for help :))

piggfeed (piggfeed.com), formerly diggress, is the ultimate RSS 2.0 feed for digg.com.
