Quickies: Digg adds images
August 15th, 2006
Digg has quietly added still shots of video entries on their video vertical. It looks like for now, they’re only able to grab the shots if the video is coming from YouTube. Netscape already has pictures sprinkled across news entries since day one.
In general, I’m all for adding more metadata in the usual sea of text at Digg, whether it’s simply using an API to grab photos, or allowing users to upload media related to the story.
