Are Digg users actually viewing digged links?

Ok. Many times I have been wondering if Digg users actually view links they are digging. Today I got some kind of proof they don't do it.

This IRAN- Police runs away video got into TOP5 on Digg News section. Right now there is over 400 diggs, but video has been viewed only less than 500 times.

Conclusion: Either Youtube stats are wrong or then Digg users are not really viewing what they are digging. They just digg because others are digging too.

Video clip is over week old, which is really easy to see from Related Videos on Youtube. Original video was uploaded 13.06.2009 to Youtube.

So Digg users digged into TOP5 News something which was over week old. I only can understand this weird scenario by stating that Digg users are not really viewing links they digg. Any comments?

For realtime Twitter pics, check Twitcaps.

Endless flood of Twitter pics.

With Twitcaps you can view and search pics with hashtags. There are plenty of other services for uploading your online pics, Twitcaps is only showing them to other internet users.

What is Twitcaps?

Twitcaps is most easily described as Real-Time Image Search Engine / Browser. Twitcaps allows you to search, browse and capture the latest images posted to Twitter via any of the popular Twitter image services (Twitpic, yFrog, Twitgoo, etc). From the Twitcaps interface, you may capture an image for later use, re-tweet the image on your own Twitter feed, or share the image on any number of social linking services.


I guess Twitcaps is also good way to find new Twitter friends and keyword is real-time. Probably not so much for professional networking, but things related to common personal life, dating or whatever.
