WSJ is adding Digg buttons AND opening a worm-hole to their proprietary content by allowing clicks from digg to display normally for-pay content!
WARNING: The following may be construed to be a violation of the DMCA - use at your own risk.
All you have to do to see premium content on WSJ is:
- Download refspoof (firefox addin).
- Navigate to the paid content you want to see. For example:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119498643110891751.html
- Type "http://digg.com" into the refspoof toolbar
- Click "Spoof" button.Viola! You now get to see the whole article just as if you have visited WSJ via a click-through from digg.

Rather than commit real-estate to a user-generated content add-on to the WSJ, only those that click the Digg button see this extra page of "most popular" stories from Digg on the WSJ.
It's both an incentive to hit the Digg Button, AND, it shows the feedback of the digg community to those who are most interested. Pretty clever.

Not only can you read paid content Dugg on WSJ, but you can just as easily spoof the browser referer tag to read ANY article behind the for-pay firewall on the WSJ site.
