Digg Adds New DiggBar Functionality

Digg.com has had its share of media exposure both good and bad. I’ve never been a huge Digg.com user, but will Digg pages that I find interesting and I think about it. I’ll regularly Digg stories from friends as well, but not blindly, only after I’ve read them and I think they’re worth Digging as well. That little process has been a bit clunky in my opinion, but Digg.com has made a change/addition that will make it a little easier.

Snagit of Digg.com New DiggBar

You can click on the image above to see the full-version and notice the new Digg bar that they released that makes it easier to Digg articles that you’re reading and spread them to other social networks as well.

My challenge is that when I see the article on Digg, I click on link to the article to read it outside of Digg before I decide to Digg it again. Now, with the Digg bar, it nicely appears at the top of the original page and let’s you see lots of details about it. I can Digg it, post it to my twitter or Facebook account, or email it to anyone else I may want to share it with. All very nice and useful. If you don’t like it appearing, you can just click the close “X” on the far right and be done.

Perfect implementation. Perhaps even better is it’s not a new toolbar or something else you need to install. It just appears when you click on an article that’s already been Dugg. Nice and clean. Almost self-explanatory. Perfect.
