I'm really kind of surprised at some of the negative reactions I'm seeing about this redesign.

Digg lost me as a user about 3 years ago -- the S:N ratio had been getting pretty bad and reddit was still more focused and attractive for me. What I'm seeing of Digg v4 will probably win me back.

I'm finding myself increasingly annoyed at the noise on reddit, to the point that it's becoming almost useless as a general news outlet for me. The thing that is most appealing about the new digg to me is that it effectively allows a user to reduce the size of the community that propagates their feed without totally throwing away the advantages of their huge userbase.

Either way, I'm excited about possibly having a social news site that lets me vet my sources and, as a result, show me things I'm more likely to actually want to read.

How does Digg differentiate itself from Reddit?

I think the real question is how does Reddit differentiate itself from Digg? Keep in mind which came first.

Do you think most people really care who came first? For me, Digg was first and I found Reddit later.

Secondly, the community is what differentiated Reddit for me -- not the format or layout.
