readwriteweb.com — Digg, which has spent four years trying to level the playing field and democratize media, will soon receive a facelift. According to Kevin Rose, Digg's founder and chief architect, the site, which hasn't changed much since its inception, will be putting a "stake in the ground this year and making some big changes."

Same s**t, different pile.They'll bring in some fancy features to stop people complaining about the fundamental problems of the website. Face it, digg has been in the pooper for a long time, and it isn't going to change. The only ting holding it up is the large volume of users, and the top submitters holding it all together.>"The caveat, of course, is that Rose doesn't want Digg to be a platform where the only discussion involves comments like "that ad sucks." "I'd hope [conversation] would be deeper," he added."They build a s**tty-ass commenting system, and they expect that "deeper conversation" gets started? We can't even reply to the replies of replies.

@cawpin .. yea shows up when you type "+b" at the end (buried story). Yet 2751 votes, that was pretty much around the time it was posted. Yet never made front page and vanished shortly after. Also doesn't mention it is buried when you open the story.

Would you rather pay a subscription fee? Honestly now. I can deal with the Busted Tee ads. Really, I don't mind them.
