3dogmedia.com — ?The DiggBar is an incredibly clever framejacking tool disguised as a URL shortening service. The mass adoption of the DiggBar by the thousands of users who constantly distribute un-digg-worthy content through our most feared competitor, will allow us to generate millions of additional revenue dollars by injecting our ads..."

Framing is poor web etiquette. I would have thought Kevin Rose of all people to know better. There are so many things wrong with this picture. Many tech "celebs" seem (at least to me) to be giving this a free pass. Last month, Jason Calacanis complained about Facebook's (ad-free) framing. <a class="user" href="http://calacanis.com/2009/03/18/facebook-now-framing-other-sites-really-wow-not-cool/">http://calacanis.com/2009/03/18/facebook-now-frami ...</a>So far, he's been quiet on Diggbar. Hate to think everyone's giving Digg a free pass because it comes from the "cool kids."

Help. I'm trapped in the DiggBar and I can't get out.

I hate the diggbar! One some websites it screws up and after a few seconds the page doesn't load properly. I have since disabled it from my settings.

Not to mention legal issues. I can't believe Digg tramples on other websites' Terms of Service (most professional online publications forbid to display their content within the confinement of a frame that hides the actual URL.) while they proudly point to their own, whenever it's convenient.

DiggBar is Bad For Digg. Bloggers and other site owners will begin to block Digg, like John Gruber at Daring Fireball: <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/d1oNOZ">http://digg.com/d1oNOZ</a> ... welcome to the beginning of the end of Digg.
