New Features in Manage ShoutsPosted by Don in Digg |
We've been busy beavers here at Promote My Site! Between taking in all the feedback from the beta as well as fixing some post release reported bugs and dealing with changes in the Digg pages, we've had a lot to do. We've also put out two very useful Greasemonkey scripts that you can read about in the last few days posts.
New Features in Manage Shouts
Manage Shouts is a premium feature of the PMS Social Suite. If you haven't already signed up, this feature is easily worth the price of admission if you're serious about maintaining your Digg presence.
Let's take a look at the new "Manage Shouts" tab in the PMS Social Suite:
Here's a summary of the fields:
- Digg User - remains the same. This is the user that you'll be performing your shouts for.
- Examine Each Story - remains the same. Whether to stop on each story or just blast through everything Delete Shouts Afterwards? - remains the same. Deletes each shout after you're done with it.
- Random Percent to Digg - New Feature. This helps prevent your shouts looking like a voting group by randomly digging shouts that you receive rather than just digging everything. Leave it at the default of 100 to Digg everything that it shouted to you, or 0 and set Delete Shouts Afterwards to Yes to just clear out your queue.
- Minimum/Maximum Wait - remains the same. A randomly geneated range of time (in seconds) to wait between each operation to make the script appear a bit more, ahem, human.
- Ignore Shouts with These Keywords - New Feature. Enter a comma delimited list of keyword phrases that you'd like to ignore. If the phrase appears in the title of the shout, it won't get a vote. If you have Delete Shouts Afterwards set to Yes, you'll just delete them.
There are lots of opportunities for optimizing your Digg experience with these new features. Don't want to see any stories about the Buffalo Sabres? Just put "Sabres, Buffalo" into the Ignore Shouts with These Keywwords field, set Random Percent to Digg to 0, Examine Each Story to No, and Delete Shouts Afterwards to Yes and you'll quickly clean your queue of these stories.
Most of our features come from user feedback, so if you've got any more ideas, please drop us a line.
