New Version of Digg Goes Live For Everyone This Morning

Aug 2010
29

digg / crispytown / history
Its finally here. Digg, the social link sharing site that has watched its meteoric rise to popularity level off over the last couple years, is relaunching today as it attempts to surge to even greater heights with an added focus on making the site better for publishers as well as users. Digg v4 will be rolling out over the next few hours, and brings some major changes that could totally change the dynamic of the site.Plenty of invites have been distributed over the last couple months, and we posted an exclusive preview back in May, but for most people this will be the first time theyve experience New Digg for themselves.
The biggest change to come in Digg v4 is the increased emphasis on social. When you first sign in, youll be walked through a flow inviting you to begin following other users, both from a series of lists curated by Digg and from friends on your Facebook, Twitter, and Google accounts (which you can easily connect with). Once youve done this, youll get to the real meat of Digg. Which, as it happens, looks a lot like the old Digg.
As with the Digg youre used to, youll see a stream of recent stories filling up most of the page, with ten top stories in a sidebar on the right. But theres one key difference: each of these stories has been Dugg by one of your friends (or sponsored by an advertiser). Likewise, the stories on the right hand side of the screen represent the stories that have been dugg most by your friends over the last day or so.

But fear not, Digg diehards the Digg youve come to know and love is still readily accessible at the top of the page, via the Top News section. Clicking this tab will transition over to a version of Digg thats much more like the current version, with recent news and Top News as submitted across all of Digg.
Other key changes include the link submission process, which is much more straightforward than it used to be. Before now if you wanted to submit a link to Digg, you had to provide an image and description to go along with it. Now these will be automatically added, the same way they are when you add a link to Facebook.
Of course, theres still one big question: will it work? At this point Im skeptical, but it wont be clear for some time. In order for this to lead to a rise in traffic, Digg is going to have to get user behavior to change. The site has long been dominated by power users who account for many of the stories that hit the front page now theres much more emphasis on what your friends have shared. Which assumes, of course, that you friends are actually sharing things on Digg, which isnt a given yet. That said, you can also follow celebrity and publisher accounts, like the TechCrunch Digg profile right here to help flesh out your feed of stories.

Inside the HDMI cable scam

digg / crispytown / history
“Have you seen HDMI cables online or in stores labeled ‘120 Hz,’ ‘240Hz’ and ‘480 Hz’? It’s easy enough to slap such labels on HDMI cables but it’s a sham. HDMI cables can no more be manufactured for specific refresh-rate HDTVs than a garden hose can be manufactured specifically to water seeded lawns and sod lawns. The same water flows through…”
