DiggTop is a great Digg client for Windows computers. Since the application is built in Adobe AIR, it can run on Windows, Mac OS X and select Linux distributions. Digg is a web service that allows users to rate stories found on the Internet. They can also rate pictures, videos, etc. If you go to Digg.com, you can browse through a lot of content, and the most popular content will appear first. DiggTop allows you to do that, but on your desktop. The simple application will show the News, video, pictures tabs on the upper left part of the GUI. If you click any of those, you will get the top stories for that group. When you click on a story, it will show up on the right part of the application. There, you can read the text, see images or videos. DiggTop allows you to preview FLV videos and images. It also allows you to download the FLV files to your computer, so you can play them later, for which you will need an FLV player. Doubling as a file downloader, DiggTop is a great way of staying up-to-date.
