My initial reaction was “WOW” this looks great, the interface looks cleaner more spacious and in my opinion runs much faster on a scale of one to ten i would score it a nine from a blogger point of view the most important thing for me with any website is the feel and look yes the clean feelings by clean i meant not cluttered and looks spacious to the naked eyes. Have a look at the screen shot below and judge for your self.

For now The new digg is in its beta testing so hopefully it will be release to the public soon until then here is a preview of my profile page have a look and let me know your impression of this. Visit my profile page here.w

I just got access to the new Digg a few days ago…and like you, I was also very much impressed. It’s definitely a lot cleaner than the old (present) Digg and is much more “social”.
But I think it doesn’t have the Digg bar yet…and links do not open in a new tab (at least I couldn’t find how to do that). Any idea?

I have just been through the new Digg. Pretty impressive…I must say. Great look and feel. Not to mention, it also looks highly user friendly. Digg is a must to be used social network for the bloggers. I have been using it from long but I haven’t been using it to the best. To make the most of a social network like Digg, you need to have have strong network of bloggers in this blogosphere. Once you have that then you can surely get the best out of this Digg.

I just took a look at DIGG, but it looks similar to how I previously remembered it. Just a slight difference when submitting a new post. But I’ll keep my eyes out for changes!

That screen does look a lot cleaner! The only thing I’d add is that one thing which makes Digg very useful for webmasters are the widgets on the side which include things like “hot in upcoming,” etc. That’s how one really gets pagerank from Digg, since it is next to impossible to hit front page.

I also got an invite to the “New Digg” and I like it much better than the old version. I’m not very active on Digg primarily because I didn’t care for the old interface.

The new look is much more user friendly and modernized if there is such a word 😉 Maybe now I’ll become more active on Digg. If you’re interested, you can see my profile here: https://new.digg.com/robertbarry

Another excellent and informative post!

Very good post, I was really searching for this topic, as I wanted this topic to understand completely and it is also very rare in internet, that is why it was very difficult to understand.

Thank you for sharing this.
