Digg modified the toolbar that it launched two weeks ago, a response to Web publishers concerned that it could affect their visibility. The social-news site released the new feature on April 2. It adds a thin strip to the top of pages submitted to Digg that includes the number of times other users voted on, or “Dugg,” the link, the number of times the page was viewed and other statistics and browsing options.
