Controversial Web "Framing" Makes a Comeback

Submitted May 05, 2009 by coco0860

When Digg introduced a new toolbar in early April that added a thin strip – known as a ‘frame’ - to the top of pages submitted to Digg, a publisher outcry forced the social media aggregator back down. It modified the new DiggBar so that only logged in users would view submitted stories within a Digg frame and Web address, and also offered them the option to turn off the toolbar altogether.

Understandable but annoying

Like one of the comments said, I can only think of one application where it wasn't completely annoying and that is Google Images.  Otherwise I don't think it provides enough benefit to justify the frustration it causes the users and publishers.
