#2That could Save Digg. Good Move if they'd succeed!

#3Is there enough value in the Digg brand to justify using it here?

#4A Digg reader, done right, might just begin to put them in a lot of people's good graces.

#5Yay, another plan for the Digg brand without a source of revenue. If you put too much advertising people will go the next hot thing.

#6Interesting, if you could pair it with a blogging service and hook up an ad service provider there is a business model in there.

#7At least, they appear to have their priority straight.
Keep it simple, we don't need no stinking share buttons. Make it fast - my connection is badly lagging these days and I can't do anything about it short of relocating, so this is close to my heart. Synchronize across device - basically, make mobile apps so that it's fast on mobile too.

I imagine the entire point would be to have the reader improve the Digg brand, not the other way round

#91) This article has no new information
2) The linked "Follow Our Progress" form is for email updates
3) Their tumblr blog has no rss link
That's not what I call serious. I use their site all the time, but it's no substitute for GR, and I don't want their curation to overpower my feeds. Reader was all about the RSS. At this rate they are sounding like a tardy Prismatic.

#10It just goes to show how much of a failure what they were currently doing was. The fact they were willing to switch to this shows quite a bit.
They genuinely should have just let digg be and get costs way down. The ad income would have been substantial if they just left it alone. Digg stories ranked high in search and I imagine they would have continued to do so.
