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.
