DiggBar Changes Permanent - No Longer A Short URL Service

techcrunch.com -- Those changes to the DiggBar that we noted on Sunday are, apparently, permanent. We expect Digg to make an announcement about those changes later today.

We first heard about the DiggBar in February, and the product launched in April. At that time Digg was calling it a short URL service, meaning users could convert long URLs into short ones that are better suited to services like Twitter and Facebook. Unlike other services, Digg kept their own toolbar at the top of the page with Digg stats on the story as well. The underlying URL was shown in an iframe. See the complete story here.
