Digg changes, Design and Features
Wow I logged into digg this morning and saw a whole different design and at first I wasn’t digging the change to the navigation design. I don’t think they spent much time in thinking of an attractive color for the sub navigation. The green bar isn’t really that appealing to me it looks puke green, although it does save a lot of space on the page. I just think they could of had a better color choice. The functionality of it is great. Thats besides the point because they have went above and beyond with the new features and changed their layout from fixed width to a fluid width design.
New Features
I think the biggest addition is the Podcasts section. You can now digg your favorite podcasts either by series or by episode. You can click on podcasts and then even choose which episode to listen to because they have it listed which ones are the most digged episodes of each podcast.
They have now added Videos to have its own Global navigation item and now there is a Top 10 stories/videos on the sidebar which is updated in real time. Of course in the profile they have separated it now into three sections for Video,News, and Podcasts.
I think the Podcasts is so great because now its going to be so much easier to find quality podcast and for people out there that have podcast shows that might not be able to get the traffic to their podcast that it deserves. I think those podcasters have a good chance in seeing a huge increase in traffic once they get heard on digg.
