Do any of you use Digg?

If you, would you be willing to submit a linky-poo about Volity & Gamut to it?

(My sense of how these things' culture generally works suggests that submissions about one's own awesome stuff is likely to be ignored...)

Edit Apparently someone else has already posted it there. Thanks for finding it, keimel, and thanks to "whisperstorm" for posting it.

So I guess I will now shift into asking people to kindly log into the site and give the link a Digg-style thumbs-up. :)

I'm a bit scared and confused of these community bookmarking sites and it worries me I might be too Web 1.0 or something.

I am a registered Digg user. Since I'm not sure exactly what you want to present, please let me know what copy you want in it and I'll submit a story.

Usually Digg is related to news announcements... so perhaps the perl.org (right site?) article or other things might do?

Let me know.

Given the audience, how about a link to Andy Oram's blog entry? http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/05/volity_opensource_interactive.html

Okay, having checked that link, I went to digg and searched first for volity. Someone beat us to it - two days ago. The Digg posting software will look for duplicate links and discourage another post.

Since it only has one digg, I'll be happy to digg it again. Digg Story, I think that's how to link to it.

Without a bunch of people digging it, it won't get out of the queue though.

Oh cool, thanks. I'll update this post.

Having looked twice, I see that it's a link to volity.org and not Andy's post, which is a nice, outsider's-view capsule summary of Volity. Maybe it's worth another post anyway?

Fine then, digg this:
http://digg.com/software/Volity:_open-source_interactive_environment_for_games

It's actually a THIRD story, as when I submitted it alerted me to a third submission. Of course, I can't find it when I search, so it must have been buried.

Well, go on everyone, digg it.
