Access Digg With Facebook Account
Digg With Facebook
After 10 months of promise, Digg is finally implementing Facebook Connect. Facebook users are now able to log into Digg with their Facebook credentials and use the site as if they had spent the time registering. It will also push their activity back to Facebook so their friends can see what they’ve been digging, and let them find other Facebook users who are using Digg too.
Digg is one of largest sites to implement Facebook Connect thus far. Second after that is likely CNN and CitySearch, both of which implemented Connect late last year.
This move is definitely a win-win for both parties. Users of both sites have long been able to post stories they’ve dugg to their Facebook profiles through various third party Facebook apps. The real magic here is that Digg will have an alternate way for newcomers to use the site in a way where long-term usage can be tracked and promoted back over to Facebook users who have not yet registered with Digg.
Facebook Connect was announced with support of OpenID. Like with Facebook Connect, this would let OpenID users log in with their OpenID credentials.
Wow! Great move by Digg…

I enabled the feature after seeing on official Digg blog, but It turns out to be very annoying because whenever we digg any article it enable a pop up saying Do you want to post it on facebook.
If you are an active digger who Digg more then 100 posts a day. You will always find this feature very annoying.
Its better to keep a check box, which can be used to publish any dugg article on your facebook wall.
