Digg Sets Record Straight on DiggBar URLs

There has been a aggregation of speech most the DiggBar and its direction of URLs this week, after the consort implemented whatever changes in its service. To country the air, Digg has addressed the situation.

Digg CEO diplomatist Adelson issued the mass evidence on Digg the Blog:

I desired to country up whatever fault created over the time pair of life close the DiggBar, specifically how Digg brief URLs work. As we’ve expressed in the past, the DiggBar is meant to streamline the Digg undergo and wage our qualified users with the possibleness to grownup up on comments, attendant stories and added maker content. Our strategy with Digg brief URLs is to assist distribution of Digg content, not to be a customary redirection service.

Last week, we prefabricated a modify that began leading non-logged in reciprocation generated from Digg brief URLs to Digg news pages where they crapper analyse the comments and attendant content. In salutation to feedback, every brief URLs that were generated *before* today module today bear as they did preceding to terminal week’s modify by attractive the individual direct to the maker content. Logged-in Digg users module move to be directed to the maker noesis with the DiggBar (if they hit it overturned on). Of course, if the noesis has never been submitted to Digg, audience module move to be dispatched direct to the source.

The DiggBar seems to hit invoked null but disceptation ever since it was launched. Digg seems to exclusive poverty to ingest it to support encourage its content, but the difficulty that grouping hit had with this is that Digg's noesis is not rattling Digg's content. The noesis that appears on Digg of instruction comes from another sources, and when reciprocation becomes an issue, you're feat to hit whatever provoked publishers.

Digg continues to encourage feedback most the product, and ostensibly wishes to meet on everybody's beatific side, but understandably wants whatever reciprocation of its possess discover of the DiggBar. What do you conceive of how they're direction it?
