If youve been on the internet long enough to remember the old Digg, you already have a rough idea of how the new Digg will work. Everything is based on content and links: someone shares a link, and people can comment and vote on the links. (If you like something, you Digg it; the old Bury downvote option is now gone.) The most popular stuff ends up on the homepage which Rose and Mezzell tell me they hope will once again be the homepage of the internet but there will also be countless smaller communities surfacing and sharing stuff in their own niche. … Digg wont show how many followers you have because that creates bad incentives; same with competing to be the most-Dugg person on the platform.
