Have anybody noticed this? This is somehow strange... EVERY document published in Google Docs has in its source "digg this" link, commented out.

This is an example of a "document" that I published two minutes ago:

http://docs.google.com/View?docID=dgzxf2p5_37fhcr8t

In document's footer source you can see:

<!-- a class=smalllink target=_blank
href="http ://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdocs.
google.com%2FDoc%3Fid%3
Ddgzxf2p5_37fhcr8t"><b>Digg
this</b></a><span class=graytext> | </span -->

This means that Google is experimenting with this feature, right? But
why? This would be very close integration with non-google service,
service that is pretty small as for Google standards... and an
integration that doesn't makes much sense – people's documents
published with Google Docs are hardly digg worthy (in fact I haven't
seen single one on digg).

So maybe some googler is just playing around... would it be even possible? :>

Not seeing it :-(

I see it in the source.

Maybe as Google adds more JotSpot style features we'll see it uncommented.

Or simply a scatterbrain googler who forget to delete that comment... ;-)

It may be from the old project writley
and the developer only comment it

is Google planing to acquire Digg?

Maybe?

That's a hard question.
But you can bet she can ;)

> But you can bet she can

She? Google is a female? :]

now GOogle is also seeking Digg what a pity..

Some very large assumptions made here...this could mean absolutely nothing Funny though!

[Signature removed.]

it could have just been an internal joke with the coding geeks, that they forgot to take out, or then again it could be for a later release or meant to synch with the 'submit to blogger' tool

full credits to your keen observation....

It's kinda hard not to miss, its just right there in the open.

I know why it's commented out:
They were trying to add it, and they couldn't figure out for the life of them why it wasn't working. Silly miss observant googlers, the "a" tag is missing "<"

Simple huh? while looking through hundreds of lines of code, they miss something so silly :)

I is teh jenius!!1!1ONE!

Maybe because you can also post to blogger from docs...

John Abassian: They just changed the first and last opening into a comment

It's OK..

Only if it's spelled gOOgle :)

I saw that the other day when looking into something... It's commented out, so no biggie.

>She? Google is a female? :]
Perhaps this is like referring to your home country, you would say "mother country". "Mother Nature" would be another example.

You can submit your doc to your blog, and blogs are oftentimes dugg. That is probably why.
