New URL system to Digg

Two days of silence from Digg about its change in URL system and displaying the posts. Now Digg has officially announced that this change will continue for the future.

The change, which took place on Sunday, had links which once lead directly to a story’s source, redirecting to Digg’s story pages instead. The new behavior appeared only on stories that had been submitted to the site, leading to confusion on where users would go when they clicked on a shortened Digg URL.

It is easy to get your user name registered before any one else does so just visit www.facebook.com/username and get yourself registered over there.

The main purpose of this is to make your profile easily accessible by friends and family members. The URL is easy to remember and it encourages users to share the urls.
