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.

    Digg is dying, whatever Digg version 4 is will live in its place, but it sure won’t be Digg. They’ve have basically fallen on their own sword and impaled themselves. They let all the the V3 programmers leave, and v4 is based on a different database and code, by the time they can get a functional site running, all the old users will be long gone, and with nothing unique to pull in new users, the site will die. This is probably not the best economy in which to experiment with your business model, perhaps others will learn from Kevin Rose’s failure, since it seems he can’t.
