Digg.com has finally announced some of the much anticipated changes to the way it delivers news to the community. One of the most interesting aspects is that the unwritten “don’t digg your own stuff” is no longer an issue. In the near future you will be able to post all your content automatically to Digg.com via RSS. Connect with Facebook and Tweet this features are also there, as expected, but if you watch the video below you will see a lot of features that remind a great deal of Twitter.
For example, you no longer “befriend” other diggers – you follow them. Like many Twitter third party apps (for example CoTweet) Digg will then show which one of your followers dugg the story last. If there are many followers, all you have to do is to click on the number displayed near a miniature avatar of the last follower to see all of their avatars. If you have hundreds of friends voting on the same story, you need a good visual memory to know who’s who. You will no longer see the most popular stories by votes, but links for people and publishers you follow instead. The most popular stories will be shown on new Digg channel called Top News.
Then, at user level, on the right column, under the usual ads, you’ll see the most popular stories as voted by your followers (we can no longer call this a community, since Digg’s new approach is “follow/unfollow”). To increase this number, users may import their social graphs from Facebook, Twitter, etc. There’s also a suggested user list for users.
There are other new features as well. Watch the video and share your thoughts about the new Digg in the comments below.
