Digg Introduces DiggBar URL Shortener, Framed Browsing

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on April 6, 2009 - 12:56pm.

Los Angeles - Social news aggregation site Digg has launched a new feature, the DiggBar, which offers to shorten URLs for stories posted to Digg, while also keeping Web visitors planted on Digg.com while reading third-party site content. The new URL-shortening feature should be popular with Digg and Web users sharing links to Web content through services like Twitter. However, some Web publishers could be upset that the "framed" version of their site that DiggBar users now see may be robbing them of page views -- although it appears that internal numbers and ad impressions remain intact.
