I discovered an interesting program while stumbling, which takes advantage of the Adobe AIR set-up.

DiggTop is a small desktop program which you can use to monitor Digg with certain pre-defined keywords.    So if you find yourself searching Digg for the same subjects over and over again then you can enter those keywords into DiggTop and let it bring the stories to you, instead of the other way around.

It’s a nice small program which can sit in the corner of your PC screen while you surf away on other sites.

The only drawback is that if you want to digg a story or comment on a story then you need to click on the title and it will take you to the Digg site.   As yet, there’s no ability to digg or comment inside DiggTop.   But I’m hoping that is a future improvement possibility.
