    Loving it thus far. Love the shortening part too.

    I wonder if the "random" button will convert some stumbleupon user to use digg more often ?

    Neat idea! Might get me using Digg a bit more often.

    Digg is rapidly using the bury function on those people that are posting comments that disapprove of this blatant ripoff of StumbleUpon.

    Digg toolbar is a blatant rip of StumbleUpon; Digg is even using the thumbs up from Stumble.
    Digg & diggers are doing a mass bury on any comments not approving of the new toolbar.

    http://twiggit.org/ is now using the DiggBar to link to articles in your tweets!

    Neat tool and definitely has some perks. The built-in URL shortener, although it's a convenient tool, only shortens to 22 characters (numerous tests from multiple pages). Other shorteners such as is.gd shorten to 17 characters and provide more room for tweeple's comments and re-tweets.

    Another convenient tool on the bar is the built-in re-post/share links provided on the right hand side of the bar. Although its a great convenience, each link opens another browser or window rather than directs to an opened browser.

    Would like to see the built-in shortener with enhanced "shortening" capabilities for a much more robust tool. Would also like to see the share links direct to an existing browser tab/window (or app) that is likely already open and logged in to Facebook, Twitter, email client, etc.

    Great tool, super-convenient! Love to see this develop further!
