Digg’s new design – epic failure
August 30, 2010
Open Letter to Digg and Kevin Rose,
This letter is on behalf of the millions of Digg users that were greeted on Monday to the latest news on Reddit.
Seriously, attached is the below screenshot of Digg in it’s full glory.
Kevin, If I wanted to go to reddit.com, I would have went to reddit.com. Digg has turned into an RSS reader… and honestly Google News is way better than what you are providing.
I strongly urge you to stop wasting your time and switch back to the former format, buggy as it was, it still wasn’t something that was completely fed by a reddit RSS reader. Something I already have as a Firefox bookmark.
This design is a complete epic failure and most likely will reduce Digg to a forum level trafficked site similar to something like SqlSpace.Com
It was fun while it lasted.
