That in itself wouldn't be such a big deal, however Digg's main business model thus far has been advertising-something that does not yet appear on third-party tools that are making use of these APIs. The trend of Digg making most of its site available from elsewhere is something that started when the company launched its writeable API late last year. Previously, all it was able to do was play videos that had been made popular on the social network. The new version lets users peruse popular stories, as well as vote on them, all from the comfort of their couch. Other improvements in the Firefox version include the addition of a keyboard shortcut that can show and hide the toolbar, and size reductions both to the toolbar as well as the user notifications that pop down from time to time.Īlong with the browser add-ons, Digg now has an updated version of its app for social media player Boxee. In Firefox's case, the extension adds the option to create a shortened Digg URL too. They also let users share any page they're on, not just through Digg, but on social networks like Twitter and Facebook too. The company also launched an extension for Google's Chrome browser, which lets users see if a story has been submitted to Digg, as well as vote on it-all without leaving the page.īoth extensions show a count of how many Diggs a story has if it has been submitted, as well as a speedy way to submit links if they haven't. Note: We used Windows 7 for this tutorial. Today we are going to take a closer look at Boxee and some of it’s features. With Boxee, you can integrate online video, music and pictures, with your own local media and social networking.
