Digg Easter Egg Revisits old “Konami Code”

With a tip from Leo Laporte that Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, was over at techcabconfessions.com telling Digg secrets, I hopped on over into the chat room to see what I could catch. I picked up enough bits and pieces here and there to discover what the easter egg was.

If you enter the Konami Code first thing when visiting a Digg page, Digg's comment system will fetch and display all comments. Yes, you do in fact use the arrow keys, and instead of a start button, follow it up with the Enter key at the end.

Now, this will surely be old news to some - a google blog search seems to point at June '07 as the earliest mention (which may be when the new comment system was implemented), but it was new to me.
