Facebook Adds Digg to Your Profile
Tonight Facebook added a new feature that enables user to import digg to their mini-feed. Want to promote your Digg stories discretely? Now you can! Your recently dugg items will show up in your friends’ feeds automatically. Now your fellow diggers can’t complain that you were promoting your recently dugg stories on purpose. This will surely prove popular with the Digg fanatics out there. While I can’t say I’m a Digg addict, I can say that I’m an occasional user and being able to import my Digg activities could prove useful.
The feature is not complex and does not include all of the features I’d like to see. The service simply goes and checks your digg account on a periodic basis to see if you have added any new stories. If you have it puts them in your mini-feed. Currently I’m not so sure as to what the delay time is. I tested it out by digging a story and waited for it to display in my mini-feed.
After 5 minutes I was without a story so I decided to stop waiting. Whatever the case, Digg is an extremely popular site for sharing content. Integration with Facebook makes the service more viral and can enable your dugg stories to spread throughout the social graph. So keep on digging!
