A Time-Lapse Movie of the Digg Front Page

This Time-Lapse video of Digg will help you visualize how stories move up or go down with time on the Digg front page.

For this movie, I initially captured some 8+ hours of continuous activity on the Digg front page and later squeezed it into a 80 seconds video for your viewing pleasure.

This is an HD screencast so make sure you watch it in full screen.

Really interesting. Good job.

On a completely unrelated note: what is the background music?

8 hrs of video! how did you sit idle for 8 hrs, i think you have done it at night :)

wow, i see just the numbers are increasing… I appreciate if you include one article on how to get those high numbers on the story that i submit… BTW,I liked the background music …

I don’t see anything useful, fancy and cool about this video.. A time waste Amit..

A very good job Amit. guess, this will be Digg’d to front page.

I liked it! It’s interesting to see movement of stories over time, and watch what climbs in the “top stories” column on the right. I’m not a huge fan of Digg, because it’s more like a game rather than a serious resource, but as a game, it’s interesting to analyze.

Interesting. Makes me think that there’s either a hard cap on how many articles go popular per several minutes, or there’s a human decision made. My gut tells me that it’s the latter.
