The benefit of the digg bar was that it served as a handy URL shortener that allowed you to bookmark and share the page at teh same time. But most important of all it redirected without people having to click through digg. For digg to take part of that functionality away for users that are not logged in or do not have a digg account is a major problem and for me a reason to stop using the service.

Check out TED. It’s more fun. It democratizes commenting. Everybody gets a little airtime. The way it is now, on highly commented blogs, the first comments get all the attention and the end comments get no attention. It's like going to the cafeteria and the first guy gets all the food while the rest just get to watch. On low commented blogs it's not relevant.
