[...] In the last few weeks, we’ve seen the news aggregation site Digg expand its’ focus beyond Technology news in an effort to reach more eyeballs. We’ve also seen Netscape launch a Digg competitor that is also aimed at a wide audience, covering just about every topic you can think of. The macro approach of Digg and Netscape is a pretty clear attempt to compete with large, traditional media websites. Digg is no longer a niche website aimed at a small community of users. It is trying to go big time. [...]

The new features at Digg 3 are pretty interesting and I am sure the Digg community will start developing more Digg tools to further tweak the interface and use the new features.

Although Digg now have more verticals, will they be able to go beyond their primarily tech-savvy user base? my guess is that the stories in other verticals are probably interesting to their tech users but may not necessarily be what other types of users find interesting.

The ui is nice and a little easier to navigate. As far as ads go, that’s fine too…they’re not too distracting. My biggest issue is what I was afriad of when I initially heard of the update. The original user base seems to have dropped off the site. The comments I see now on the technology container are childish, uninformative and useless. I use to look forward to the debates and helpful feedback in the comments….now it’s full of inane flamwars and trolling. I think I might just head to slashdot for now on, it’s really too bad too because I liked digg alot. I also believe it’s only going to get worse in the coming months as more and more new users begin to “contribute”.

It’s alright – but I think it needs to be 100% wide. Move the skyscraper add to the right.

I really expected them to add tags to the site, especially since all the new categories make it easier for stuff to get lost. Is there any particular reason why tags might not be a good idea for a site like Digg?

Digg 3.0 is a big yawner. They didn’t really add much. There are glaring holes in their “Digg Topics.” Reddit is looking better and better everyday.

Daniel, thanks for the explanation for moving some content to a seperate tab. However I just couldn’t get on with the new layout, so restored the old one using CSS. Details on my blog.

I wonder if getting stories on the homepage “faster” is really a good thing. Personally, I’d rather see stories on the homepage that are “better”.

Digg is already problematic because it allows users to see the number of Diggs a story has. For true crowd wisdom to kick in, it assumes that every individual is acting independently, with no knowledge of how others are voting. By letting users see the number of Diggs, it encourages a “follow the pack” behavior by which the popular stories get more popular.

It seems like they’re adopting a system where they’re encouraging users to digg stories with a lot of diggs already. Which means that “early momentum” almost becomes a more important factor in getting to the front page than the quality of the story.

Personally I’d rather see them hide the total number of Diggs (or at least bury it somewhere it’s not so visible), and focus on getting quality stories on the front page vs moving stories there quickly.

Aside from that though, I really like what they’re doing.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but I’m sure the tag cloud has always shown higher dugg stories as bigger in the cloud.

So how come Digg doesn’t work with del.icio.us?

There’s a tie-in with Blogger et al, why not del.icio.us?
