The new Digg version (v4) is up and running, and it sucks.
The reasons :
- less content (way less than before, 3 stories were on top news in 8 hour period)
- very buggy (getting better)
- the my news section being default (may be fixed shortly)
- links don’t open in separate tab (may be a bug)
- no picture section
- no videos section
- Digg is trying to be a like Facebook and/or Twitter (hint it’s not and shouldn’t try to be)
The less content/stories issue the biggest. I use Digg as a filter for all the articles/pictures/videos on the internet. If it can’t do that, then whats the point in Digg at all.
I really don’t understand organizations that take away features that many users/customers like or demand. And when they don’t succeed they just try again latter. Case-in-point the pictures section on Digg. Digg got rid of it in a previous update and the users complained until it was put back, and now Digg has removed it again.
