Publisher's description of DiggTop
From gskinner.com:DiggTop is an application for Windows and MacOSX that lets you view a blended list of your favourite Digg topic or keyword feeds. In addition to the full Digg submission information, it will also display a slideshow of images it can scrape from the linked article.

Editor's review of DiggTop
stars
- "DiggTop"
- Version reviewed: DiggTop
This is an interesting little tool to gather feeds based on your selected Digg topics, but we ran into some problems that prevented DiggTop from working properly.
Before you can install this free tool, you must first download and install Adobe AIR runtime, a cross-operating system runtime for developers to use in creating Internet apps. The warnings from Adobe about installing a beta EXE file may intimidate some users. DiggTop launches a small but nicely designed interface that's very user friendly. Configuring the app for finding the Digg topics about which we wanted news, video, and online article notifications was very simple to do. We liked that we could choose either chimes or a ding for the notification alert.
Despite the ease in setting up the app, a Help file would have been handy. The online link to the DiggTop Web site didn't provide much info. More problematic is that DiggTop never loaded content. Even after numerous tests and setting of fresh keywords, the tool couldn't load content. Whether this is a problem with running under Vista (the OS under which we tested DiggTop), with Adobe AIR, or with DiggTop itself, we weren't able to determine. It may run fine under XP--and since the tool is free, you won't lose anything by giving it a try.
