Is digg new short url is search engine friendly?

[seomum]

I saw that digg short url: "diggDOTCOM/d1oTLG"....is redirecting 301 to a page, where actual story is submitted (that's user submitted link). So my concern is, that link will pass any link juice as compare to normal link url does?

Or it will cut down or pass no link value to a page?

I hate short URLS (personal opinion). Don't use them. Refuse to use them. That's why I'm not a Twit. I don't like things obfuscated or a need to rely on a third party to get things right. Too many opportunities for things to go wrong.
