Naturally.

A friend (not on LJ) informed me the other day that he "undugg" an
article after having previously "dugg" it, i.e. endorsed by a vote of
confidence on the site digg.com.

(Indeed, once logged in, and browsing a particular item, I either get a
button asking "digg this?" or else informs me "dugg".)
