The cops came around the bowling alley after all the customers left and ended up doing a training exercise with the dog. Someone put on a sleeve. It was awesome!

They should've just done a bookmarklet and/or Greasemonkey script. Then you can have the Digg bar while leaving the address bar in tact. Which, I believe, is everyone's biggest gripe.

Paul Reynolds: It's not the only gripe. Aside from not wanting Digg's URL taking the place of mine in the address bar, I refuse to allow someone else's frame to lounge across the top of my site.

Paul Reynolds: I agree that a browser extension would have been a better way to implement this toolbar. If a user has gone to the trouble of downloading and installing such an add-on, fine. But it's quite a different story to have casual visitors following these shortened addresses and browsing around my site with a Digg URL and a Digg-branded frame sitting above the fold.
- Tom Harrison
What's interesting is AFAIK Facebook has been doing the framing thing for a while. I think Digg probably cribbed the idea from them and tied it together with a URL shortening service. Probably for an active Digg user, it's a great feature and experience but they've obviously stepped on the toes of their most valuable audience: content generating sites.

I will say from a FriendFeed user aspect, I like it because I can go straight to the source site and digg it if I choose to.
- Paul Reynolds
As an aside, no one gripes much about the Facebook Bar, which I find to be at least equally annoying as the DiggBar, and sometimes even more so, since closing the Facebook Bar means Facebook spitefully seems to redirect you through the slowest possible servers to render a page.
