Digg's attempt at amends

Digg is trying to recover from the PR nightmare that the new DiggBar started.

I know I won't be signing up for Digg any time soon...

In response to the complaints, Digg plans to tweak the DiggBar to be less intrusive. Those who are not logged into Digg and click on a Digg link will not see the toolbar; they'll be directed straight to the source of content. Also, Digg claims it is ensuring that Digg URLs will not show up in search-engine results.

The DiggBar changes should start to take effect over the next week, according to Quinn.
