What is Digg?175 Comments
- JoaoPe, on 01/18/2008, -5/+169And it looks like Diggnation is available without restrictions!
"For the last year or so we’ve made early release of Diggnation a part of our paid membership program. But just as Woodstock became a free concert, as of today those gates are down. Everyone will now receive Diggnation at the same time." - Rekzai, on 01/18/2008, -6/+157Great redesign but I liked seeing the latest episodes of all shows on the homepage.
- jester55, on 01/18/2008, -6/+117do they have a classic view mode? i prefer the old one.
- wukillabee, on 01/18/2008, -18/+99that site sucks
- tbranch227, on 01/18/2008, -5/+71Yeah, it's a velly confused design.
- devinjohnson2, on 01/18/2008, -2/+52Old design was way better. The new one is cluttered, confusing and the colors suck.
- Iccanui, on 01/18/2008, -3/+44and .... its down
- Lumbeekid06, on 01/18/2008, -1/+39seriously? I missed seeing thee latest episodes.
- pyrexia, on 01/18/2008, -0/+36Not anymore it doesn't... Good ol' Digg effect...
- hadiz, on 01/18/2008, -5/+36It's an improvement, but there are several small things that still seem a little rough around the edges. Namely all the thumbnails, they look like they are larger size natively and forced smaller via HTML, hence the pixelated look. The upper-left rounded corner is not transparent, and some of the .gifs look grainy. This sounds nitpicky but maybe this stuff will be addressed in the near future.
- babakshirazi, on 01/18/2008, -1/+22Wow. Someone called that site "stunning". Holy *****, the web is at a new low if you think that is stunning.
- bs0l, on 01/18/2008, -0/+20I wouldn't say sucks, busy or confused is more like it.
- inactive, on 01/18/2008, -1/+19Now all they need is to fill in all those gaps and they've got a full blown television network.
- Skettalee, on 01/18/2008, -4/+21dont know whats making everyone freak out, its just a website, plus I rather the darker theme the other one had with the episodes on the main page.
- puppetj, on 01/18/2008, -0/+17hate it, the other site was better, dark & easily to navigate!
- Matrix_Prime, on 01/18/2008, -4/+18the title is misleading....the site is dead for me
- Technec, on 01/18/2008, -0/+14One word...TERRIBLE! Come on guys, you can do better than this.
- thebrawl, on 01/18/2008, -0/+14Translation: Nobody is paying for early releases of Diggnation.
- bs0l, on 01/18/2008, -1/+14Hmm great, but why won't the site load? Haha, there's no way that they actually suffered from their own digg effect.
- blaze03, on 01/18/2008, -0/+12Like I said in the other thread, it's definitely not an improvement.
- Razster, on 01/18/2008, -1/+13DO NOT WANT!
Why do they mess with a good thing? Not only does it take longer to load, it is slow and things are not as easy to find. I liked seeing what the latest Episodes were on the front page - they made this look like some Joomla template site... Why do they continue to screw with things that are perfect such as our comment style. Argh!!! - Raian, on 01/18/2008, -2/+13The new design is really poppin: http://www.ryanrafferty.ca/digg.png
Nice and simple... - mushroomqueen, on 01/18/2008, -0/+11Who envisioned cyan, cream, blue, and lime green to be colours that go well with each other on a website? It might've been ok in 1997.
- Lordrust, on 01/18/2008, -4/+14and it doesnt work ...nice
- DooM, on 01/18/2008, -1/+11The title is accurate - they LAUNCHED the new website, it just crashed on its way out of spacedock.
- thesimo, on 01/18/2008, -0/+9i agree, the site looks great but it makes it less accessible, i dunno where to go, and i think a lot of new visitors will have trouble finding all teh cool content
- ru(sic), on 01/19/2008, -0/+9yeah, fuk this *****.... pretty over usable is NOT the way to go.... to many clicks to get things done....
- moondog, on 01/18/2008, -2/+11Aaaaaaaaand BOOM goes the Dynamite....errr..the site.
- djbutnot, on 01/18/2008, -0/+9After a couple of reloads I got to it. It's slow loading though. What probably doesn't help is the huge images they are using. I clicked in to Tekzilla, the latest episode pic took forever. I also noticed some bad scaling going on, so I rightclicked to see: 1280px × 720px (scaled to 300px × 170px).
What the hell!? I then checked the smaller images: 1280px × 720px (scaled to 170px × 95px) or 320px × 180px (scaled to 170px × 95px). No wonder the site is dying, they're dishing out huge image files when they shouldn't be. Go back, start again. - BackwardsPanda, on 01/18/2008, -5/+13DOESNT WORK LOL
- tbranch227, on 01/18/2008, -4/+12Asss!
- bs0l, on 01/18/2008, -0/+7Yeah they will! The classic view will come right after the the skins for digg to make it look like the old digg.
- lewscroo, on 01/18/2008, -1/+8rev3's been dugg-bombed. what do they have as a host, wordpress?
- GeekyGerge, on 01/18/2008, -0/+7I bet 20 bucks that the bad comments won't be looked at on the next Diggnation, if it's on there.
- posneg, on 01/18/2008, -0/+7Great job on the javascript errors everyone. Give yourself a round of applause.
- minigig, on 01/18/2008, -0/+7I do not Like it. The old one was to the point and much better on the eyes.
- craterburnsu, on 01/19/2008, -0/+7rev3 is not digg's parent company. Digg is Digg's Parent company.
- arjung, on 01/18/2008, -3/+10that blog is fugly... reminds me of /.
- seandfeeney, on 01/18/2008, -0/+6look at the top left corner of top sections rounded edge. looks like the new look needs some ironing out.
- 1159, on 01/18/2008, -2/+8Fail.
- XedLos, on 01/18/2008, -0/+6Guess Mirrornation did it, i guess.
http://mirrornation.com/index.html - UGM2099, on 01/18/2008, -1/+7Just a website? How dare you! I say good day to you, sir!
- nintapple, on 01/18/2008, -1/+7i wholeheartily agree. im surprised more people don't see the obvious.
- rcfan, on 01/18/2008, -1/+6lmao 2x frontpage 2x down
- justinp, on 01/18/2008, -1/+6What happened to browsing the "real web"?
(I own an iPhone, you shouldn't need a special version of a webpage) - wvstephens, on 01/18/2008, -0/+5Well the homepage sucks. I like the old design better, but I do like the individual show pages they have a nice design and flow pretty well.
- s1mph0ny, on 01/19/2008, -0/+5So he can fire everyone and start over?
- wiifm69, on 01/18/2008, -1/+6and suffering horribly from the digg effect
- Stradenko, on 01/18/2008, -2/+6digg is not revision3.
- Daggity, on 01/18/2008, -1/+5I may be wrong sir, but are you guessing?
