It seems that Digg is working on a similar StumbleUpon toolbar that allows users of Digg, bury or find stories, while you browse the network. Veronica Belmont first saw a spotted a screenshot toolbar to Flickr, and it seems that people from TechCrunch managed some additional information .

If the information is correct, here's how it works. Users will see a toolbar in the toolbar popup on their screens. The toolbar is displayed in an I-frame, which means that your browser is not specific and it is possible to leave at any time by pressing X.


When you visit the pages that have already been submitted to Digg, you'll see the number of votes received. Or you can send the current page. You can also view or bury stories stories.


The toolbar also create a shortened URL for any page you're visiting, from digg.com ... You can share this shortened URL via e-mail, Twitter, Facebook or other services in the same way you would TinyURL. Digg Google Toolbar is not available to the public at this point. And for all we know, this could be just a false alarm. But it seems certain that something could Digg and / or should offer in the future.

Google adds user generated photos to Street View

Google Street View allows you to see photographs of the city and its environs taken by cameras connected to the Google vehicles going along the main streets of the city in the United States and other countries like Japan, Australia and Spain. And now you can also find photos taken by amateur photographers, too. In this case, it'sa good thing, because the amateur photos are often of better quality and more interesting composition. This is what happens when a man takes a picture, rather than letting a computer to it.

Google is using Geotagged photos provided by Panoramio. The Company also some of these photos available in other applications like Google Earth. If you are displaying a location in the street you have an image, an icon in the upper right of the screen that lets you know that the images are available for users. Clicking on a series of images you can scroll through the popup. Just click the button to the right, which should now be classified as Street View, to return to normal display.
