Digg could take on StumbleUpon, TinyURL with new toolbar

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.
