Not sure which you are referring to, but I used the Search at the top of the page to come up with this list based on "diffuser"

Just remember that the larger the diffuser,
the larger and less harsher the light
source for the subject.

I agree. I have the gary fong puffer pop up diffuser and like it a lot. It works well. Didn't have to fiddle around trying different concoctions.

no need... cut open a translucent 35mm film can and stick it on, or tape on a small piece of cheap paper towel. In a pinch, manually hold a piece of paper napkin or towel, or half-thickness of Kleenex in front of the popup.:thumbup:

You'll find the DIY at the top of the page. http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-32754-4.html Needs to be tapered. If round like a pringles chip can then if becomes a snoot and Does Not help to soften light. The best materiel to use on the end is a good quality paper towel. You can cover with clear plastic to help protect or just use as is. If for on camera flash look about 1/3 down page http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-32754-3.html made from the corner of a milk carton.

Agree on the paper towel.... Even if you go "store bought", adding a paper towel will improve the diffusion. Maybe not necessary for general photography, but for Macro, it makes a noticeable difference.
