BuryMine -- Digg's Bury Data Exposed
Published by Adam Lyttle on August 6, 2007

Comments
Important Notice: The BuryMine tool has been turned off. Please revert back to Digg Alerter version 1.1 by clicking here.

Digg Story Location:

Paste the location of the Digg story in the textbox above, then click the 'Check' button to search the database for captured bury data. All of the captured buried requests will be displayed - along with the time of the bury, the reason why and the diggs.

For the last 100 captured stories click here.

Be sure to download version 1.2 of Digg Alerter. The new version periodically captures the data sent to the Digg Spy application on the Digg website. The more people using the new version, the more data captured.

Update: The tool has been updated to capture more data. Additionally, it has been pointed out that bury data is only being collected for upcoming stories.

Update2: Popular buried data is now being captured.

Update3: We now have 99.9% coverage. Meaning most (if not all) bury data is being captured by our heard of diggers. Thanks everyone!

Any idea how much data is being missed? What rate is it being collected at?





Adam Lyttle commented on August 7, 2007

Looking at the last 100 stories captured, it looks healthy. Very healthy. It's not absolutely accurate, but it does give a good understanding of why a story may be buried. Personally I think Digg should add an option similar to this to the site. It protects the anonymity of the burier, but gives a submitter more of an idea as to why their story was buried.

I just tried to check for a few articles that were on digg and for all of them it said that the bury info wasn't available... what is wrong with it?





Adam Lyttle commented on August 7, 2007

As stated numerous times the tool relies on capturing data. If you tried looking up old stories it won't have the captured data. The more people using Digg Alerter 1.2, the more data we can capture.

I've never had this work for a buried article. I am betting Digg doesn't want people to know that. If they let everyone know how easy it is to bury articles, it will be gamed even more. I use 1.2 and the articles are recent. It would be a great asset though.
