#digg 4

The 4th version of Digg has been rolled out with several major changes in the design, front-page algorithm, and social components. Since 2004, Digg has been a major source of breaking news and stories for me -- ranging from the oddest, funniest, and most informative collection of stories.

Digg, one of the internet’s earliest community-driven platforms, is officially back — once again aiming to reclaim relevance in a landscape now dominated by Reddit. Before Reddit rose to become the so-called “front page of the internet,” Digg was the place where users collectively surfaced the web’s most interesting links through upvotes.
