Digg Introduces DiggBar URL Shortener, Framed BrowsingAuthored 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.
