Smart Digg Button for Firefox

by Brad Linder Apr 28th 2007

See that little number in the bottom right-hand corner of this screenshot? Yep, that number tells you how many votes a recent DownloadSquad story got on Digg.

Smart Digg Button is a new Firefox extension using the recently released Digg API.

Once you install the extension, a little box shows up at the bottom of your browser window. If you're viewing a page that has not already been submitted to Digg, you'll have the option of submitting it yourself. If you visit a site that's already been dugg, you can see at a glance how many votes the page has received.

Other social bookmarking sites including Furl, Reddit, and StumbleUpon have their own Firefox add-ons that serve a similar role. But now you can have the complete set.

You know what would be really nice? When a person clicks to view a digg article load a little digg frame at the top of the screen so the person who looks at a article can easy digg it without having to navigate back to digg. Now that would be cool. Too many people click and read without diggin.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
