Is Digg Stealing Traffic?

The guy behind Digg is apparently running some tricks. Now on the Digg homepage, you see all links are shortened, like this one http://digg.com/d1p5OI. Trimmed link is admirable as now everyone is using twitter, with no more than 130 characters allowed for each message. Shortened link is a way to make link sharing possible when your words are legally truncated.

But here comes the tricky part: when you click on those shortened links on Digg, they do NOT redirect you to the original URL, tricky? Digg, in fact, wants to keep your traffic forever! Unless you bother to click the "X" button on the top right. (would you really bother?)

Hmm... Time wouldn't be long before Comscore blowing her top for this foxy trafic stealing scheme.
