Both services have similar goals and similar traits, and in some ways they're rivals. In fact, Digg attempted to win back the Twitter crowd this week with the launch of the DiggBar, a new toolbar and shorturl service we reviewed.
But what if you don't want a Digg Toolbar? What if you just want to post an update to your Twitter friends whenever you rate something on Digg? Enter Twiggit, which lets you do just that!
Tweet Your Diggs
Here's how Twiggit works: you sign up with your Digg username plus your Twitter username and password. Choose whether you want to broadcast all of your Diggs or just the stories you submit yourself. And that's it - the rest is automatic. When you Digg a story, your Twitter will be updated. It's easy to turn the service on and off as well.
Twiggit's functionality is similar to another Twitter service, TwitterFeed, which automatically posts blog posts or any RSS Feed to Twitter. This helps busy bloggers spread their writing. Twiggit does the same thing for busy Diggers.
