DiggBar Launched

Social Media websites are now getting smarter day by day along with some new services popping up on the scene, some withstands and some fades too soon. But some services are highly acclaimed and they themselves understand their importance on the web, and to withstand against the competition they try are trying offering new services which they lack until now.

Following the footsteps of Stumbleupon, Digg has launched their own toolbar with the name of DiggBar. It was launched by Kevin Rowse at Digg blog.
