Digg Evolves with New Features, but the Same Old Problems

Digg.com has rolled out some new features this week:

  • Interface Design, Digg Goes Widescreen
  • Top 10 Stories/Videos
  • Videos Enhancements
  • Podcasting
  • Profile Enhancements

Todd Malicoat gives us “10 Reasons Digg Could be the New Google, and Suggested Improvements.”
