Is the Diggbar Impacting Your User's Experience?

The recently launched Diggbar from digg.com can wrap your site in a frame if the user visits a special URL on digg.com. Your user's experience is negatively impacted:
- the URL in the address bar is 'digg.com'
- your site title could be changed
- content is moved down the page (leaving less 'above the fold')
- it adds visual noise to your site
- it changes your finely crafted visual design
- your site's personality is affected
Many sites (like the NY Times) are, with good reason, blocking this Diggbar. There is a Rails plugin to do this for your site: acts_against_douchebar.
