Reddit, Digg Rivalry Heats Up With #DiggRevolt

The brand new Digg is under fire on its first ever Monday from both its most loyal users and the competition at Reddit. Launched last Wednesday, Digg power users have launched a Digg Revolt today, some calling it "Quit Digg Day," and the Reddit community has embraced the feud.

Senh: This is pretty interesting. Digg's frontpage is still filled with Reddit links. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.

It's finally here. Digg, the social link sharing site that has watched its once-meteoric rise to popularity level off over the last couple years, is relaunching today as it attempts to surge to greater heights — with an added focus on making the site better for publishers as well as users.

Senh: My first immediate impression is that it's actually better. The design is simpler and more streamlined. Although I'm not sure if it should default to the My News tab for logged-in users. You should always make what made you popular the most important and prominent feature. In this case, it's the Top News tab, which is the top news items based on Digg users. I'm looking forward to auto-submission of news items via RSS feeds.
