View Buries Tool Updated

Submitted by SocialAlerter on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 09:08.

The View Digg Buries Tool has been updated to fix a small (yet very annoying!) bug and with more help.

Again, there is a bookmarklet (below) you can use to easily access the buries. To use it, drag and drop the link above to your favorites/bookmarks toolbar. And then as you browse stories on Digg, find one you're interested in, click on the bookmarklet, and you'll be taken to this page that displays the story's bury data.

The bookmarklet:

Digg Buries at Social Alerter

The fixed bug was as follows: Digg's URLs have the following structure: digg.com/STORY_TITLE . Of course, the important bit is STORY_TITLE, and Social Alerter's View Buries tool can easily deal with these URLs. Some Digg URLs though look like digg.com/STORY_TITLE/who or digg.com/STORY_TITLE/share and the View Buries tool didn't know how to handle them. Now it works with all the Digg story URLs I know of. Please let me know if I missed one.
