Dear Digg

April 7th, 2009

Dear Digg.

When the “Diggbar” was first released I cringed. I thought “oh great they’re hijacking my browser how annoying”.

I was therefor rather confused when I noticed that it actually makes sense. I can cut down my tabs by being able to interact with Digg (usually by digging/burying the article in question) because that functionality is available in the bar. In general I won’t read the comments until after I’ve actually seen what it’s all about (as everyone should).

My request is simple – change the RSS feed(s) to link directly to the article.

By making this little nifty bar, there is no point to go to the Digg page and the extra waits / clicks / tabs are annoying. You are a victim of your own success and I’m very sorry this change will impact your advert impression numbers. But seriously – we’re all using some sort of adblocker anyway.

Regards,
Nic.
