Digg just got a bit more powerful with a Firefox 3 extension that broadens its reach across the Internet. As seen in the Kevin Rose-narrated video below, the extension adds a toolbar and web-wide notifications. It's a very cool way to see and drive Digg coverage on stories that you may already be reading online, and to then follow the Digg commentary.

It's very cool to see services like Digg taken out of the "website" context and turned into web-wide applications. It's even better to see them enabled in an open-source browser like Firefox, especially when the toolbar is open source.
