digg.com/iphone broken?

Filed under: Rant, Web Dev — Will Boyce on January 18th, 2008 @ 17:58

This has been pissing me off for a while now, so I’m going to try and bring it into the public eye - in the hope that a solution can be found. Since a few days ago (that’s a guess, it could easily be a week) digg.com’s iPhone interface (by far my most-used iPhone Web Site) has been “acting up”, to say the least.

If you go to http://digg.com/iphone in your PC Browser (well, in Firefox.. Not sure with IE would make of it) you can click the stories, the page will scroll across and you get to read some comments, and follow a link to the dugg article. Now try this on your iPhone. it used to work fine, but now I am unable to follow any links. “Clicking” (so, tapping) on a link on my iPhone does nothing. Nothing changes, nothing loads.. Just nothing. I would be tempted to blame my Jailbroken iPhone at first, but I just tried it on my friend’s iPhone (running 1.1.3 - which I wouldn’t trade for a Jailbreak, btw) and had the same problem.. So it can’t be me.

So, Mr Digg.com, will you please fix the Digg iPhone interface? I can’t handle my commutes without the satire spin on anything current that is Digg.

  1. heres an idea - use reddit ! :D

    It’s minimalist compact design would probably suit a mobile device better anyway.

    And it’s not swarming with diggtards who say nothing but “OMG lulz”.
