Digg Tools and Widgets

Recently, I have been getting more into the Digg and Stumbled Upon Communities. This has led to an increased interest in some of the available tools for these sites. Today, I’m going to provide an overview of some of the available Digg tools.

Socialblade – This site analyzes Digg by giving a snapshot of statistics of stories as they hit the Digg front page. You can also filter by Digg user.

Digg Labs - Digg Labs gives you a more indepth look at Digg. You can view stories being Dugg in many different ways with these tools.

Digg Firefox Add-Ons – The Digg Toolbar for Firefox gives you a simple and quick way to Digg and submit content. You do not have to be on the Digg site to Digg or see what’s been Dugg. Each time you navigate to a webpage, you can see the number of Diggs and comments in the left hand corner of the toolbar. If the site hasn’t been Dugg yet, you can also submit the site. Another feature is automatic notifications. Newly submitted stories will appear in the right hand corner of your window. You have the option to turn this feature off.

Digg Myspace Widget – This widget allows you to see Digg Stories directly on your Myspace Page.
Create Your Own Digg Widget – You can easily customize this widget for your site. You can choose the specific story topic, top 10 by a topic, stories from specific users, stories from specific sites, etc.
Google Coop Module – This module allows you to see Digg Stories in your Google Search Results

Flock Web Browser – This is a browser designed for Digg. You can see your Digg friends in the People Sidebar and view stories they’re Digging.

Enable Video & Image Thumbnails – These tags will enable those who submit your site to be able to use thumbnails of videos & images from your site to add when they Digg a story.

Integrate Digg This into your Site – Add Digg This Buttons to your site.

iGoogle Gadget – You can view the Top Digg Stories on your iGoogle page by adding this widget.

Netvibes Widget – You can add this widget to Netvibes to see the top Digg Stories on your Netvibes page.

Edited: Just found a great article, DIGG Toolbox: 50+ Digg Tools and Resources.

Have you tried any of these tools? Do you have any other great Digg tools that you’d like to share? As always, I’d love to hear from you.
