Ohloh is social website for aimed open source developers. It is also great way to find nice open source projects.

Anyone can add a open source project to Ohloh and then Ohloh uses svn (or git) to download projects source code for analyzing. After analyzing you can see how many lines of code is on example Vim, Firefox or even Linux Kernel. Also smaller projects are analyze not just, major softwares. There is also commit history and cool graphs that show amount of code lines.

There is also social part. Registered users can add information to profile and update a twitter like “journal”. The idea of journal is cool, but it is hard to get every one on project to use it actively.

Ohloh is great website for open source developer. I recommend it for everyone who writes open code and likes web 2.0 websites.

I got banned on digg because I used script called “digg friends easier“. It is not a automatic “robot” script that diggs automatically. It just makes easier to digg friends stories. I don’t think that it is big problem.

After reading couple of other stories about diggs banns. I realized that digg is trying to stop top users to dominate the front page. The main way to use your “popularity” to gain diggs is tp shout/share stories with friends. It looks like digg admins don’t want that peoples uses shout system.

But why they don’t want that I share stories with my friends! Is it against the rules? If they don’t want that people share stories, then remove the shout system. Without shout system digg would be better place for everyone.

Then, why they can’t send a warning first that someone is doing something that they don’t like? Example, if I get a warning. I would remove every script and disable shouting, but no, they can’t warn me.

Biggest issue is that I dont have any site where I can go. Digg is simple the best. I used digg every day, it was always open on my another computer, I always checked what cool was submitted. I loved digg, I still love it, but I cant use it anymore.

Tips for users that haven’t yet got banned: Disable shout system, remove every single scripts that affects way of digg works. (maybe even adblock) Keep your recent diggs low. Do not shout or digg shouts you receive. Do not share stories with your friends.
