DiggBar Shortens Web Site URLs

Looking for a shorter URL to send in Twitter?

The good folks at Digg.com, the website made for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the Internet, have just released DiggBar, a tool for creating short urls quickly and easily right from the browser.

To see it action, open your favorite browser and place, "digg.com/" in front of any web address to create a shorter version for emailing, twittering, and more.

DiggBar Example:

To shorten this URL:
blog.freebairn.com/2009/03/freebairn-speaks-to-uga-ad-club.html

Simply put "digg.com/" in front of it as:
digg.com/blog.freebairn.com/2009/03/freebairn-speaks-to-uga-ad-club.html



Notice, the new generated link is:
http://digg.com/u184e

(click the screenshot above to a view larger image)

You can now use this short URL for any of your social networking needs.
