There is hot news running around the blogsphere that Digg.com may soon bring its own toolbar like StumbleUpon, to attract more people who are still not addicted to the Digging phenomenon.

Digg Toolbar

This new toolbar will allow you to Digg, Bury, share the page that you are on and will show you, how many Diggs the page has already received. There is Random option which will work the same way as in StumbleUpon toolbar. The Related pages option will take you to related pages dugg by the Digg community.

One interesting feature, that this toolbar offers is TinyURL-like functionality, which will allow you to create shorter URL such as "http://digg.com/xxxxxx”(six character code). This shortened URL will be used when you share a particular page via Twitter or Facebook.

If you look at the above image, the toolbar looks like an browser plugin but it isn't actually. Rather, it is an i-frame across your entire page shown from Digg.com and you can get rid of it by clicking on the "X" option in the toolbar.

Currently, this toolbar is in beta testing stage and we have to wait little more time for the final version to get released.
