Dear Kevin Rose, Please Create a Photo Section – Petition
Sign the Petition for Digg to Create a Separate Photo Section
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.
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!!!
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.
we want photos! but not on the front page
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
[crickets chirping...]
Ahem…
I’ll start. ME!
It sounds like the perfect addition to the digg site.
Fantastic Idea.
Count me in for PHOTOS:
We need a photo section
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…’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?
not everybody wants to see your _amazing_ wallpaper or panoramic of
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*
that would be great !
yea
photo section would be good
sounds like a great idea im all for it
I’m in. *signs*
I Agree

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

I totally agree with this concept. It would make things so much better to streamline the front page of Digg!
yep :)
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 completely agree.
I agree…
Cool idea i thought of this a few weeks back
Do it!

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!

About freakin’ time…
vote++

go pictures!

It is about time to have a photo section.
PLEASE BRING IN A PHOTO SECTION–it would be so awesome….my time spent on digg would easily double….if that was even possible!!
*SIGN*
DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Count me in.
Ashley Jones *sign*
Im signing this shit.
I agree, a photo-devoted Digg section would be neat. Flickr’s Explore page is neat, but doesn’t consist of the types of photos that get Dugg.
yes photo section on digg yes yes yes
we definitely need it
YES! PHOTO SECTION!

theres my signature
Kevin rose is to lazy to do this shit..
I mean, the video section is a drama… (only 5 videos per day, WTF?)
But count me in.. photo’s all the way!!
yes I agree
Yeah It’s really troublesome to get couple of pictures on the main page of DIGG, I digg this idea.
Kev Plz it would be a good idea!
I’ll sign.
photos please
It’s a no brainer! Being able to ‘Digg’ people’s photography would be awesome! Come on Mr Rose, make it happen! ;-)
Add a photo section to digg =). Podcasts + Videos are good =].
Great idea – I am all for it.
yes photo section but not limited to just flickr, and cache the images as well so digg effect doesn’t hurt it.
I agree too!
I AGREE. FOR SURE.
yep, pics would good for digg.
/sign
-Frogmeng
Me too.
I agree we need a photo section
This would be a logical next step for Digg, you have popular news media, world events, video, why not add another media to vote on, I mean its going to happen anyway, Digg might as well have a proper outlet for photos.
Count me in!
A photo section would be great.
I like this idea. It allows photography nerds to focus their search as well as limiting the main page to mostly news.
I’m in for a photo category too.
Steve
(digg: cheezdoodle)
agreed, please throw one in.
DOOWIT!
I’m in favor.
good idea . Keep on!
i agree!
Yea I thought about that before too… makes sense to me!
yay for boobies!
Photo Section would be great – maybe a tie-in with flickr or an imagehosting company?
thats a really good idea
Yesh! Definitely I agree. It’ll be a cool place to scroll through too!
It totally makes sense!
I concur.
We really do need photos.
Signed.
I believe Malaysia’s Digg users agree with that suggestion ;)
enjoy my postcards which I have created at zimoz.com . This postcards lets me add photos, Videos anywhere anyway I want it. So while Kevin is still thinking whether to allow all photos (from flickr etc) on DIGG or build DIGG”s own photo sharing site , enjoy my postcards

Maybe photosup.com will fill the gap? It’s a digg clone but at least it will keep all of the photos in one place
Photos for ever
I agree
I think that would be an awesome idea !
Yes please!
w00t go photo section!
