Daring Fireball: How to Block the DiggBar

Bookmarked via Diigo on Friday, April 10, 2009 @ 08:36 CDT by Daniel Andrlik

I love this post from John Gruber on how to block the DiggBar, and in effect, Digg itself. I’m also highly amused by the message he displays to users that try to access his site via the DiggBar.

There is already some Django middleware available for this that can be easily adapted to forward users to any custom view or external site you wish. I’ll definitely be setting this up on my site soon.

UPDATE: I decided to use frame-busting JavaScript instead since that takes care of Facebook and other sites that do framing as well. Like anything else it can be countered, but it’s a start.

I think Tony Hung is correct here when he posits that the so-called blacklist is probably an weighting algorithm at work. I also agree with his statement that Digg doesn’t care enough to blacklist bloggers. It’s true, the only people who care about bloggers are bloggers.
