Digg with Diggbar-Digging made easier
April 2nd, 2009
Digg has just launched a new tool that I find very innovative, the Diggbar.
It allows you to digg directly from the site you are visiting, just by clicking the bookmarklet.
This creates an easy to share short URL (http://digg.com/u1b1) and the options to share the URL in facebook, Twitter and email.
For a site that is not yet submitted to Digg you get the option to do so.
For a site that is already in digg you get the digg information you need and the possibility to read comments, find related stories and find stories submitted fr the same site.
And similar to Stumbleupon, if you press the random button, you are taken to a story that someone else have submitted.
A nice feature that digg is sharing with us is that you dont need the bookmarklet at all. Just write digg.com/ in front of the URL in your browser and all of the above functionality is loaded. Try it out know, on this site.
I would love to hear what happens if you do this on a mobile browser from an Iphone or similar. I you have tried it please let me know.

The Diggbar = an invasion of privacy; this “innovation” is only an attempt to track Digg users whom are not members.
When you have your browser setup to delete all information connected to your current session, the option to permanently disable the Diggbar becomes 100% useless, because that option simply resets itself to enabled after the browser restarts.
It’s fucking annoying and intrusive, so I won’t be using Digg anymore.
F-OFF DIGG!
