Read the article, Digg me later!

Digg has an option to open the article in a new window (or tab) whenever users click on it, but some users feel it annoying and get that option disabled. Most probably they’ll simply close the window (or tab) and move onto the next article, without Digging it.

Dustin has coded an awesome Greasemonkey script which injects a “Digg” bar at the top of each article page. The bar comes with “Digg it” link, so that you can Digg the article right from the article page itself. After Digging, you will be redirected to the Digg page.

Assuming you have already installed Firefox and Greasemonkey extension, click here to install the ‘Digg me later’ script. Now, go here and test the script :P

In my opinion, Digg should add such a “digg bar” by default, so that diggers could comfortably digg the article after reading it. Perhaps, it would help users from either digging the article before reading it or forgetting to digg after reading it.

  • Push this site always.
  • I'm definitely going to make use of this Dujo, but could you perhaps have a link back to the Digg Article without necessarily digging it as well?
  • This is absolutely what digg needs... should integrated to digg upon joining.
  • Ashish: I know a plugin which checks for inbound links from Digg and then places the button, but once it misses the frontpage, there is no much use placing that button.
  • Digg might need to think about developing a navbar or toolbar; with a digg button and navigation around for other articles..
