Dear Kevin Rose, Please Create a Photo Section - Petition
The last few days I’ve noticed a number of photos getting to the front page of Digg. Some of these are great photos but I’m not sure they’re really front-page worthy, especially when you can go to Flickr Explore every single day and find shots that are really amazing. This is not to take anything away from the photos or the photographers who took them, but rather a suggestion on how to improve Digg.
In December 2006 Digg overhauled its website and created a separate section devoted entirely to video. Digg should do the same for photos. I’ve seen quite a bit of consensus on this issue in the comments of Digg posts that deal with photos, so I know I’m not alone in having this view. A major home page Digg has already demonstrated that the Digg community wants this.
If you agree that Digg needs a separate photo section, just as they have a separate video section, please sign this “petition” in the comments, just as a way to show your support for this idea.
Update: Kevin has responded:
Markus Urban is a guest contributor from Sarasota, FL. His AU Interactive blog covers online trends, marketing, and development topics. He's also involved with Visual Photo Guide, where he writes about HDR photography techniques and HDR software such as Photomatix.











[crickets chirping...]
Ahem...
I'll start. ME!
Fantastic Idea.
I agree we need a photo section
Count me in for PHOTOS:
We need a photo section
yes photo section but not limited to just flickr, and cache the images as well so digg effect doesn't hurt it.
It sounds like the perfect addition to the digg site.
Me
I agree, great idea
great idea and yes they really do
awesome idea. this would make digg even better!
If nothing else, add a subsection "photos" And a subsection "videos" dot have two different pages for them.
i agree. that would be a good addition to digg
count me in...
not everybody wants to see your _amazing_ wallpaper or panoramic of 's night skyline. It may be amazing to you and 3 other people, could just put it in a flickr set and tell your friends perhaps?
i'll support that
I agree too, it makes sense.
I agree 100%! I love seeing all of the photos that pop-up on Digg, and if there was a whole section for it, than there would be all sorts of cool things to see.
*Signs*
I agree as well.
'twould be awesome!
+1 vote
The people have spoken,.. Do it, Kevin!!
I'll agree to that sure why not.
PHOTO SECTION GETS MY VOTE!
I Agree!
A photo section would be great!
I AGREE to this petition
I agree!!!
a place for pictures is a great idea.
Make a pictures bit! yeah!!
I agree, add the photo section.
Yes, please do this digg
please start a photo section
/sign.
I think it would be good, but it will take time, maybe they can make some sort of embeded thing like with the new video section
I know deviantart will go wild
It's nice having a more central page to view photos and text based stories together as it does now, but adding a Photos section would be great. Having the option to choose whether you have photos seperate from the main page would be awesome... common KEVIN!!!
we want photos! but not on the front page
I totally agree with the photo section idea... but why say it with petition when we can digg it?? what a waste of time,.. don't bother sign this petition.. DIGG!! and you shall be heard.
Make it happen!
I sign.
Yes please...
Digg seriously needs a photo section. The amount of HDR photos hitting the front page is obscene. Its time to seperate them out like the vids.
I agree whole-heartedly.
Yes please.
Yeah, Good idea.
::signs::
i agree
sounds like a great idea im all for it
I'm in. *signs*
I Agree
do it.
yeah i agree digg needs a picture section
Include adult photos too. NSFW and Gross tags would be awesome.
I am sure they are already working on something like this but yes, please come out with this feature soon and get rid of the podcast feature!
yes, get rid of the podcast thing... its totally useless!
A definite must for digg
definately. upgrade.
I sign as well.
I'd like to see this happen
WE want the picture section,Kevin.
How long does it take to put it up dude-put it up
The users speak!
DO it...Do It...
SUPPOORTED
Do it.
Do it.. Do it.. Do it...
Yes do it!
I will sign fashizzle!
I'm in.
i'm up for it
I totally agree with this concept. It would make things so much better to streamline the front page of Digg!
yep :)
I completely agree.
I agree. A photo/picture section of Digg would be greatly appreciated.
do it, YES
Kevin Rose, the digg community and I will **** you up if you don't do as we command.
I agree...
Cool idea i thought of this a few weeks back
Do it!
Agreed
Picture section PLEASE!
Great art needs dedication.
Please do it, Kevin!
F*** Digg and it's users. Who gives a f*** about this shitty site anyway except a bunch of egotistical morons? Homos.
I agree! A photo section would be great.
It would also improve the quality of the other sections!
