Project Detail

Description

I need a small application designed to do the following. It should be a stand alone application that runs on Windows XP. It needs to do the following:

1) Go to http://digg.com/

2) Goes to one of the following sections based on which one the user chose

Most Recent | Top in 24hr | 7 Days | 30 Days | 365 Days (which section it goes to needs to be an option that the user chooses before running the program)

3) In the selected section, it will return all pages that meet the users criteria. These results are displayed in a small window and can be sorted by pressing on a button (Eg: If clicking on page rank, the results will be sorted highest to lowest based on page rank. If clicked again they will be sorted lowest to highest based on page rank. The same for the other buttons available, please see attached image).

4) The user then selects the pages they want to submit to and clicks on "Submit".

5) The program will then submit a comment to each page (this can open in a new window).

6) Since Digg uses captcha, the user needs to enter the captcha, hit submit and the program continues to the next link.

7) When the comments have been submitted, the user can click on "Ping" and it should then submit each url in the list to a web based ping (like http://pingoat.com/).

The following options/data need to be able to be set by the user:

A) User can enter digg account login and password

B) User can select Most Recent | Top in 24hr | 7 Days | 30 Days | 365 Days (multiple selections are possible)

C) User can specify what criteria to search by (multiple selections possible)Only results that match the search criteria are displayed:
Page Rank of X and higher
Comments of X and less than
Diggs of X and higher

D) User can enter the comment they want submited and it should be spinable, like the following:

This is {really|very} {great|good|excellent) {info|information|stuff}.

What the software needs to be able to do:

* Use entered digg login and password to automatically login to digg.
* Only show results based on the section selected by the user
* Only show results that meet the critera (page rank, comments, diggs etc)
* Retrieve the page title, comments and diggs for each page.
* Check the page rank of the page somehow (external website that can do this, whatever).
* Display Title, Page Rank, Comments, Diggs in a window where the user can then select which pages they want to submit to.
* Create a list of successfully commented pages and then be able to ping these via whatever method.
* Spin text from the comment section.
