This morning the social-news website digg lauched the version 3.0 of their service. It marks their first step outside the relams of technology news, where they were focusing before. The stories are now divided into 6 containers, which can all be subdivided into smaller categories:
- Technology
- Science
- World & Buisness
- Entertainement
- Videos
- Gaming
What is really nice is that they give the user the possibility to customize which stories are appearing on the main page. The new design also puts a stronger emphasis on the friends you have on digg, with the addition of the “Agreed On” column in the friends panel. It shows stories that you might like based on the fact that two (or more!) people in your friend list have dugg the same story.
Some new features will roll out in mid-july, such as the so-called “Digg-spy-on-crack” and “Digg-incoming”. Both present new way of visualizing the flow of information on the site. Check the latest diggnation podcast for a live demo.
