The new Awesome Amazing Digg

Posted on by

Yesterday, ever since afternoon, I took my time off from the Internet and the Computer to spend more time with the family – laughing, tea, tv, walk, etc. Today, I saw Digg with all its new glory. The Digg Blog have an elaborate article – “New Digg Features O’Plenty (New Digg Features O’Plenty)”:http://blog.digg.com/?p=57.

Of course, with the booming popularity of Videos on the Internet, it was eventual for Digg to come up with a separate section for it – “Digg Videos (Digg Videos)”:http://digg.com/videos. They’ve also added a section dedicated to Audio – “Digg Podcasts (Digg Podcasts)”:http://digg.com/podcasts. What about a Digg Photos? I am sure with the popularity of Photos on the internet now-a-days, it would not be a bad idea to have a section for Photos. (They seem to be updating their server, it is very erratic on the daytime on my side of the world (INDIA).)

The missing piece is that I can no longer see *Diggers who have Befriended me* and I am left with just my friends. This will stop me from reciprocating friendship who have befriended me.

The best part I like is the move to widescreen and the enhancement to the profile page. More details are covered by the following top site –
