1128 Digg Web Service Interface

I used the “Search Digg” function to locate a web service interface to digg.com services. I got a “No results Found” response which surprised me. Does anybody know if such a thing exists? Please digg if you believe such a solution is good for the user community.

A web service interface would allow me to utilize Digg services by means of my own outside software. For example, I would utilize this capability to keep track of my friends, fans, and correspondence (Share/Shout). Whenever I wanted to bring attention to a new writing I would use the mass shouting feature of my outside package to send my bulk shouts.

Beyond the 200 friend shout limit, I find the repetitive motion of shouting to my fans to be tedious and it makes my mouse wrist very sore.

If anybody knows of a digg.com acceptable way of performing such mass operations please advise. If no such service exists, please digg this post in support of a petition to digg.com for such a web service interface solution.

Like everybody else on the Internet, digg.com must be seeking revenue. I would willingly pay a small yearly fee for such a specialized digg.com web service interface solution that runs from my computer with my copyleft’d software solution of choice.

. . . The Answer Is . . .
