Thursday evening hundreds of people came out to Mezzanine on a rainy San Francisco night for digg’s big Million User Celebration. I shot some photos of the event.

Early on in the event, Jay Adelson and Kevin Rose announced that digg was releasing their API and a Flash Development Kit, as well as Digg API Visualization Contest.Of course multiple people Twittered the news, including myself.
