- blogsper, on 10/10/2007, -21/+212the new digg is awesome .
- irkenzim, on 10/10/2007, -8/+139Yeah, it's certainly more social - seven users have added me as a friend already today. The only problem, as I see it at the moment, is that it now takes more clicks to digg a story submitted by a friend. That's annoying.
- SilenceGold, on 10/22/2007, -3/+84Shout = spam news to friends.
- sbader, on 10/10/2007, -0/+74is anyone else having problems with sessions expiring, and fatal errors when digging articles and comments?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -16/+86So essentially you're saying it's good because of the shouting ability and the ability to make friends. It doesn't address the fact that Digg is a *social news* site. Did Kevin and co. lose sight of that?
If this is your type of desired social network, why not use Facebook instead? - jollyholly, on 10/10/2007, -1/+56I have to keep refreshing pages just to Digg stories or comment..
I like the new Digg but I miss some things.. - magicmarc, on 10/10/2007, -3/+48New digg may work. Your website's hosting, however, may not.
- duggmirror missed it. - arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -3/+42I don't want it to be social. If i wanted social networking, I'd get a myspace page. I want news and discussion of the news, not Facebook.
I want to submit stories and they get there by their own merit and acutally democratically because they got lots of diggs, not because some algorithm looks at how social I am and decides if I have the cred to get to the front page. I don't come here to connect and build a social circle. I come here to read the news and to debate the news and to see all the different persepectives that each person brings and their interpretation of the news.
The more "social" digg becomes, the more social you will HAVE to be to get on the front page. That's not right. - renegadeafk, on 10/10/2007, -3/+40HOLY ***** I CAN FIND COMMENTS
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+38The 'sort by most diggs' feature for the comment system doesn't work.

Agreed, but I shouldn't have to click through just to read the description. - lava, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30Except for the fact that sorting by most diggs is screwed up right now and it's pissing me off. That's my default view, and the sort is random. In order to get it working Ihave to go to another view, and then go back to view by most diggs.
- g00ee, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25I like that you can go straight to your comments without "Expand Full Tree" and Ctrl+F.
- FyreGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -4/+28I don't know why that's a good thing for most users. I choose very carefully whose comments and diggs I actually want to pay attention to. When I see all these people adding me who are already "fans of" more than 500 Diggers, I can't help but question their motives.
- Fracture98, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21How the heck could they forget to show your comment digg count?! They went to all the trouble to show you the comments you've made. Neaveru for a while longer, I guess. (Of *course* I know it's narcissistic.)
- fuxjoey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19I don't mind the whole social networking implementation. It doesn't really change my way of using Digg. But I just wish that they could somehow figure out a way to improve the "speed" of the site. Because it requires us to click more links now and it's painful to wait for pages to load up slowly.
- IvanB, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19All in all, people that add a lot of friends on Digg are just hoping that this process will help their stories. When in fact, it really won't.
- colto, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Oh you did that on purpose!
- sicc, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16Now all they need to do is fix the HORRIBLE loading times.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16So the bug is still there....
- FyreGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16That's a new one... for me, it only started about an hour ago.
And then I hit submit and not only got both "session has expired" AND a fatal error, but upon refresh, my Friends Activity went to 0. Don't know if it's true or not because I'm trying to post *this* comment.
And then it happened again, and my friends activity counter came back, so who knows... - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Tamar, I feel every post that you wrote today :) Initially, I was pissed at the updates. You are completely right, digg is about news, and that's it. The fact stands that I had solid digg friends that I could never communicate with initially, now I can. They did shaft the friends section with the no description and more clicks to digg, but if that portion gets changed, you can't be mad with being able to communicate better with people you spend hours at a time with digging news.
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14I'm on FireFox, and I keep getting errors. I have to constantly hit f5, just to digg a story or comment on it.
- Skanadian, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15The new digg is only good if you have friends.
- FyreGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14And then I tried to edit this comment... you know, the one I'm replying to? And Digg told me it doesn't exist.
- fuxjoey, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14Agreed. It's ridiculous. It's so obvious that it's design for more clicks rate for them.
- Herolint, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11I agree that the history is better than it used to be, but why not include the number of diggs/buries your comment has right there on the history screen instead of making you click on it to see.
The fewer clicks required to use the site the better. - arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11They're adding you because you're a girl.
- JoshuaH, on 10/22/2007, -1/+10You might just be on to something there. Maybe even add a hyphen between E and Mail.
- OBKenobi, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11The comments... fix the comment system!
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10I don't consider this anything like facebook. Because it's all still the same, but now, you have the ability to communicate with the people that digg your stories. And I like that new feature.....
- Bukowsky, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11yea. I'm having the same problems... I am constantly hitting F5
- mercurysquad, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10It is, but I fear an abundance of duplicate comments will still occur.
- sbader, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Yeah, sucks doesn't it?
- MaynardJK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I'm getting all of the above mentioned errors with Firefox as well.
- atbnet, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Yeah this feature is awesome. I was tired of going back to commented stories and CTRL+Fing.
- zeroMPHfallover, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Your opinion is suspended.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I continually get errors and annoyances. I get a lot of "session has expired" and "Oops wrong Captcha" ***** warnings which are ridiculously incorrect. Yeah, its buggy as hell and equally annoying.
- MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Yes, but do you fear an abundance of duplicate comments will still occur?
- yuukanna, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10Is it just me, or does the new digg sessions time out more frequent (I've had it time me out repeatedly as I sign in... it's frustrating.
- heathuff23, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6will this "new digg" prevent me from having to see forwarded emails from 1991 on the home page?
- Aidenag, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6It's so true Tamar.. Even worse, im already seeing thing shift to myspace mob mentality already. Users with pictures of there boobs are already dominating the shoutout feature. Not even the sites most active top users are getting the shoutouts brand new users with hot avatars are..
The days of Digg being about NEWS is over im afraid.. - Hortnon, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8I was about to say that I'd never seen any of this, then it started happening on every article that I went to. I blame heavy traffic, but who knows...
- Coven, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5This is buggy as hell. At least on IE7. I hope it isn't this bad when I get home from work and get to surf with FireFox.
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Wait.... WHAT???
A change to the digg interface that doesn't have half of the users up in arms about how crappy the change is? - JackDoyle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6It'll be the new MySpace before you know it... you'll have 10,000 friends by next week.
- slkuhn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6How do you make the default view for upcoming stories, "sort by most diggs" . this has been bugging me and i just can't seem to find the setting.
- NeMeSiS187, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I'm still waiting for the ability to search my own diggs. It's really sad that I have to use a 3rd party site just to do a simple search.
- OBKenobi, on 10/22/2007, -0/+5The first thing I did was turn that "feature" off.
- Soccrmastr, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7This thread right here is the cancer that is killing Digg.
Anyone else remember the old Digg, quality stories, the whole site centered on tech with people who are techies. Now it's a LOT more general, with a lot of new people. -
