Break That DiggBar – It Is Good For Traffic

Posted by on Apr 13, 2009 | One Comment

As I have stated previously, the DiggBar is seeing mixed reviews, most of which appear to be highly negative. While it certainly is nothing that mounts to privacy or malware concerns, the DiggBar is by and large, outlandishly foolish.

The biggest problem is many website owners are already coming up with ways of preventing it from interfereing with their own traffic flow. Because let’s face it, having something changing the url in your address bar to differ from what is actually going on, is just plain wrong.

What we are seeing happen now, is a rally of users and webmasters alike, coming together to promote common reasons against using the DiggBar. Whether or not this is going to continue to gain traction, remains to be seen I suspect.

    Dropbox also works extremely well, and provides many of the features of SpiderOak, but also adds the ability to access files offline, sync across Windows, Mac, and Linux, and they also have an iPhone and Android app. You can also expand your storage space by either purchasing it, or inviting friends. Additionally, you can share a folder inside your Dropbox with other people running Dropbox, and you can even share files publicly by placing them inside a folder where a URL is automatically generated. Finally, using another special folder and folders inside of it, you can make web slideshows of photos. Dropbox is all around better.
