Just spent a few minutes on digg, and didn't like what I saw. Maybe I'll check back tonight.

Shows ya what I know. I hardly ever use Digg.

So what is different about the version online now versus what was online previously. What's the "good change" that you're seeing?

Fixed:

- Algorithm: We've updated the algorithm to prevent any single source or user from dominating the homepage. These are the same rules we had working before, just now working on the new v4 platform.

- Comments usability: We've added the thumbs icons back and have made a couple other changes. More usability improvements coming soon.

- Timestamps: Are now live on 'My News' stories; we're still working on homepage stories.

- Digg usernames: The CaSe IsSuEs are fixed now.

It was just too spammy for me. Two thirds of what I clicked through on was pure spam.

Apparently, I'm not the only one who dislikes the new version. The first headline I saw this morning was, "Old Digg Crushes New Digg in Reader Vote." Maybe it will improve in the coming weeks as they iron things out.

An old digg was better than new one. Hope, they will restore old one soon.
