With the recent release of the new Digg API, developers all over the web have started playing with it, creating nifty new apps around Digg’s gigantic database or integrating it with their own applications. The DIGG API gives access to a whole range of data from the DIGG database for example - if a story has been dugg or not. One developer decided to use this data neatly formatted into a nifty Firefox extention which sits in the bottom right of your browser.

If the site you are viewing has been submitted to Digg, the button will display the number of Diggs it has, and clicking the button will bring you to the site’s Digg page.

If the story has not been submitted, the button will read “Digg This” and will link you a Digg submit page for the article.
