#3Has a regular user of Digg and an alpha tester for Digg4, I have to say I am quite impress with the rapidity and the quality of the changes. The real-time digg count updates give quite a good feeling to the website in general since you have a feeling to participate in something bigger. The update has been on the right track and I hope the best for Digg.

You should have complained to pg. I had a similar thing happen on a digg blog post, and he reinstated it.

Buildbot is used for continuous integration, which is a big step along the path to continuous deployment. A lot of companies are doing this today. Fewer are doing continuous deployment. kaChing has some posts about their setup:

And I believe many of the companies featured in the Startup Lessons Learned conference are doing continuous deployment:

There's a lot of momentum towards this. The company I'm at is working to get there.

I believe facebook does it as well, trying to find a video I saw from a while back to post.

Automattic/Wordpress.com does either automated Continuous Deployment or have their deployments so streamlined that releases are made very frequently and are (almost always) non-events.
