Hello everyone,

Digg is now going to release a number of new features.

Some of the features are as follows

But currently digg.com (Out of Service)

Upgrade in Process. New features are minutes away...

[Mark]

Yeah, it’s currently updating.

Any expected release date on the new design?

[Jack]

That's some great changes! Thanks Digg!. This is very pretty and will help those of us who like to start fights in the comments.

[Alexis]

Looking forward to checkout the new interface design as well as the widescreen pages...thanks for the update Jan.

[Rodney]

Certainly change is life and if Digg is going to do such changes there will be more fun and excitement. I'm very anxious to logon and continue digging.
Such changes are always expected and keeps the momentum going or else things get boring and monotonous.

I don't surf Digg as much as I used to and when I do it's usually via Netvibes. Maybe I'll check out the new features though.

[Jan]

The new design is pretty good and more user friendly, has anyone checked here?

Well, while enjoying new features of Digg you will find you don’t have your friends with you who have helped your stories for getting at the homepage.
Now you can friend people, but you can’t see who has added you as a friend.

I like its current feature which include the active Digging Technology for the podcasting section.

[Rodney]

For me Digg looks to be more organized now then before.
They are trying to create a separate sections for Videos and Podcast.

Digg's entry into video market shows it getting into competition with YouTube and others, anyway this new feature will be enjoyed by Digg lovers.

Any new feature started by a particular website like Digg doesn’t mean that it wants to compete with YouTube or any other site promoting videos.
IMO it is nothing but the acknowledgment to the user’s interest and demand. The increasing popularity of videos is one of the reasons behind this move. Digg does not want to be out of the current market trend and suffer nothing else.

Yea Rod,, that’s true on Digg’s part as we all know that it is a social networking site and not a video clips provider. The
feature of videos is just a way to make the site more user friendly and to keep up with the changing times.

Do you have find the digg ad of Digg Shirt & Digg hat, these new features also carry a digg store targeting the christmas shoppers, nice idea!

Good work by the Digg members. I expect there revenue to go up nicely from these updates.
