New Digg Friends Checker Tool

• Posted by B Jones on May 16th, 2006 - Comment on this Post »

I have become pretty addicted to Digg over the past months. I almost don’t watch the national network news anymore because I get all the news I want from Digg.

So I don’t have any “Mutual” friends on digg, and there is no official way to find out who has added you already to their friends list. So I did some searching and it turns out someone made a tool to do just this. Only thing was, that it didn’t work.

The person who made the tool, however, did include the php script for the tool on their site. So I tested it and got it working on my test server. They were using Google and the results were not very good at all (surprisingly).

So I came up with a better way to check for friends using Yahoo. It’s all wrapped up in this new Digg Friends Checker Tool.

Enjoy, but take it easy, because it uses the Yahoo api. There is a limit on requests.
