Here Comes All New Digg

Digg has been getting dug by players like Twitter and Facebook. Digg fans knew that the site needed a heavy makeover. Those wishes have just come true.
 
Kevin Rose, the fonder of Digg, has announced the launch of all new digg. "I’m excited to announce that today we opened up the newest version of our Digg platform. We’ve been working hard on this next evolution of Digg (what we’ve been calling “v4”) and everyone here is really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the changes we’ve made."
 
"This redesign is a major revision of our platform – front end to back end – this is just phase one of what will be an on-going, iterative process, involving lots of input from all of you. We'll be pushing out features on a regular basis and tweaking often. Our goal has always been for Digg to be a place where people can discover and share content and conversations from anywhere on the web. With Digg v4, we are introducing a few things that will make discovering and discussing news a lot better."
 
Digg has made a digg at some of the core features of competitors like Twitter. Now, you can follow your favourite publishers in order to get their news feeds. Katonda has also started a channel at Digg, which you can follow here.
 
The new digg is faster in every way: submitting articles, loading pages, and Digging content. 
 
Digg team says it has "put a lot of thought into how people consume news and wanted to make it easy to view content from the friends, publishers, and influencers you care about. Once you start following your friends, and sources you trust, we'll build a custom news homepage for you called "My News”. Customizing Digg will enable you to see your friend's recent Digg or Comment, as well as the latest article submitted by a publisher."
 
Taking a few lessons from Facebook, Digg has made it easy "to see the stories your friends are Digging and commenting on, and to share interesting stories with them. You'll notice activity from the profiles you're following highlighted in stories, on comment pages, and even on their profile page as you navigate the site. Attach your blog or RSS feed to your profile and send your followers content as you create it."
 
Let's go and do some serious business, let's Digg!
