Digg that ReDesign

A little public relations work for Digg founder Kevin Rose today. No
doubt hearing the calls for changes to the comments section and the
addition of images to the social news site (spurred on again by the
recent launch of RedditMedia, an unofficial “Reddit for images”), Rose has promised that those features are forthcoming.

In fact, a future revamp will combine all the media sections under
an “All” tab, with users still able to navigate to the individual
sections. That likely means more attention paid to areas like Videos.

The new stuff will arrive in October, Rose assures users, which is
likely soon enough: despite there being no shortage of rivals, nobody
has yet shaken Digg’s
network effects. The only question I have about Digg is: what next?
Surely the site must eventually look towards acquisition, but the user
base is so opinionated that no acquirer would be good enough for them.
