Labs provide a broader and deeper view of Digg. Tens of thousands of URLs get submitted to Digg every day, so sometimes good things can fly right past you. Labs projects look beneath the surface of the Digg community's activities to expose content you may have otherwise missed.
Labs projects are the results of collaboration. Pics, Big Spy, Arc, Stack and Swarm are a collaboration with stamen design and digg365 is a collaboration with the barbarian group. We've also released a public API for Digg so that anyone can turn Digg data into their own visualizations.
Digg 365 surfaces the top ten stories on any given day, month and year. You can also see the top ten stories by category per year. Roll over the colored arcs to show display the months; clicking on it brings an outside arc to choose a specific day.
Digg Pics tracks the activity of images on the site. Images slide in from the left as people Digg and submit them.
Digg Arc displays stories, topics, and containers wrapped around a sphere. Arcs trail people as they Digg stories across topics. Stories with more Diggs make thicker arcs.
Digg BigSpy places stories at the top of the screen as they are dugg. As new stories are dugg, older stories move down the list. Bigger stories have more Diggs.
Digg Stack shows diggs occurring in real time on up to 100 stories at once. Diggers fall from above and stack up on popular stories. Brightly colored stories have more Diggs.
Digg Swarm draws a circle for stories as they're dugg. Diggers swarm around stories, and make them grow. Brightly colored stories have more Diggs.
