mashable.com— Earlier today we mentioned that Digg.com appears to have changed the behavior of its short URLs so they no longer go to the source of the story for logged-out

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You mean to tell me that you actually take the time to post your article on Digg in hopes of getting more traffic, and then get mad at digg, because you used their tiny url to direct traffic to your site, and digg is adding a step so that people come to Digg first? How ungrateful can you be???
first digg tried to make their short urls link to the diggbar, and when people wouldn't have it, they realised that their url shortner does absolutely nothing to benefit digg. now they have changed the system, and have _real_ canonical urls, which do serve a useful purpose.in saying that, digg have f**ked their users once again.
Wow I am amazed. I did not know people took all this stuff so seriously. I come in here to have a good time to enjoy myself. I think it would be great for all of you that have all these great ideas and want to improve things to send your ideas to digg. I am always seeing these questionaire things all over the place that ask questions seems like they want input. No I am not an air head I just know if I were them I would want to know cost effective ways my readers and members could generate even more traffic. For the bottom line here is Digg is a business to them and they do not want to go under. So if they need help and ideas instead of bitching and getting mad and offended offer to fill in for him next vacation and see just how easy his job really is. Come up with some traffic generating ideas. Feeling creative send them a message. I am sorry for our twitter friends maybe somehow an apology from digg with a fix would be helpful and that might bring curisosity. One never knows. Peace out.
Limiting message length is not tied solely to Twitter.The prevalence of text messaging, mobile browsing, and IM creates a market for url shortening services as well.
