Sub DiggerPlus makes it easy to browse your friends' Digg submissions
Actually, we do cover them, but usually it's how to remove them, not add them. Well, that's about to change: today, I bring you a neat little toolbar called Sub DiggerPlus. Its single purpose is to enable faster scanning of your Digg friends' submissions. That's it, but boy does it do it smoothly.
To get going, all you do is head over to the Sub DiggerPlus website and type in a Digg user name. Now, rather curiously, you're totally free to surf another user's friends' submissions. As I don't have any Digg friends, I used someone else to test it. BLAM, I'm instantly shown a fresh list of new-and-interesting submissions from my Digg friends -- or the friends of someone else!
Want more? There's more, after the break.
As you can see, The Sub DiggerPlus bar appears at the bottom of your browser, rather than the top (so as not to conflict with the default Digg toolbar). All you have to do is keep mashing Next until you find something that's interesting -- every submission that opens has the Digg toolbar, so you can Digg it, find out the original URL, bury it, etc. There's also the 'List View' which displays every new item in... a list. From this view, links open in new tabs, which some people might prefer.
All in all, I can't see why any avid Digg user with more than a few friends wouldn't use this funky little tool. It must surely speed up the arduous process of surfing through all of your friends' submissions, which can only be a good thing. At the end of the day, it gets you to the juicy nether regions of the Internet just that little bit faster... who can complain with that?

Digg is full of one-sided comments. Who actually goes there anymore?

I would say quite a large number of people, looking at the amount of traffic they can command.
