Digg Monitor v0.1

Digg Monitor trigger
I uploaded a new trigger tonight that digg users may find useful. It’s basically a specialized RSS monitor for digg.com that grabs a few other bits of information like the number of diggs, number of comments, the submitter’s name, image and so forth.
The Digg Monitor has four different modes of operation as indicated by the popup menu in the top left. They are:
  • Front Page - Watches for new stories promoted to the main page at digg.com
  • All Stories - Watch for new stories submitted to digg.com
  • User diggs - Watch for stories dugg by a particular user
  • Friend diggs - Watch for stories dugg by the friend of a particular user
The Digg Monitor is available as a plugin for Proxi which you can download here: http://proxi.griffintechnology.com/software/bundles/digg_v0.1.zip
Since the Digg Monitor is a plugin and not an “official” Proxi component (yet), you’ll need to install it manually. After unzipping the bundle, just copy it to /Library/Application Support/Proxi/PlugIns and restart Proxi.
Using a Screen Message task, you can build display notifications like this when the Digg Monitor triggers:
Screen Message via Digg Monitor
Of course there are plenty of other things you can do with it, but I’ll leave the rest to your imagination. If your a digg user, give it a try and let me know what you think.

    […] A new plug-in for Proxi allows you to trigger notifications such as on screen displays, spoken descriptions, flashing a PowerMate light, etc., when digg is updated on the main page or when a friend diggs a story. You can also filter by category, keyword or set digg count thresholds.read more | digg story Participate! Leave your comment. […]
