diggtheblog.blogspot.com— After a brief period of downtime, Digg launches a new feature: 'My Number 1' Allows you to select a story to be archived as your favorite stories.

I haven't tried this yet since the stories today aren't great and it looks like this is irreversible for now, but I think it would be good to have one My #1 a day and sort all My #1s according to date of digging, which will create a record of "what interested me on this day on that year?..." and maybe making it more useful. It should also be counted as a double-digg, in my opinion.I agree that My #1 isn't a very elegant description... How about "highlights"?
quoting Kevin"done - 'un #1' coming soon!"So why does it take a a dozen complaints for one to get the idea to implement a "undo" function? It should come standard! Come on! As a programmer, you MUST know people make mistakes,so granted they would want to "undo" it.
of the people who didn't see this post first ---I bet over 60% of them accidentally chose to lock-in the first article they saw with a My#1 option---- just to test it out...and then scrambled for the diggtheblog explanation...and then realized they'd just have to wait for the next roll out before they could un-#1 that random digg...
I was thinking about a feature of this kind the other day. Though it was a bit different. Maybe it would be interesting if you could have a "favorite story of the day". A similar feature but with only one "My #1" per day. And it would be like a "double digg" or something, like carrying more influence for a story you really care about, among the others for this particular day.What do you think?

I was just noticing the front page too. It looks like old stories got promoted. Either something is wrong or the new algorithm is setting in.

how long before they convert digg to a myspace type website, that seems to be where they're going, what with the focus on the profile and friends.

The icon isn't so hot and is not included on the comments page, where it would be needed.

"...and if we accidentally click the button, how does one un #1 a story?"exactly.example: <a class="user" href="http://www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com/2006/09/brooke-shields-picks-it-and-eats-it.html">http://www.idontlikeyouinthatway.com/2006/09/brooke-shields-picks-it-and-eats-it.html</a>my hard-hitting story of the day.

may I just say that digg stinks whenever it comes to usability.
