Track your digged posts from your desktop

I just read about one of the best Digg tools ever on Make Use Of, immediately downloaded it and I love it already. Digg Alerter is a simple application designed to track the stories you have submitted to Digg. You can see a list of stories, number of diggs, comments, who dugg it and some other statistics.

One feature I love – as a budding full time blogger – is that I can hear my stories being dug, since it gives you a warm audio alert when such a happy thing happens. I can also see the list of people who dug my story, double clicking on their names will take me to their profile on Digg.

All this is presented in a great interface, nothing more, nothing less than needed. It resides in the system tray, consumes very little resources (4.000 K) and apart from giving me useful statistics about my stories, it is also fun, and fulfilling to watch the counter go up in real time.
