I'm really kind of surprised at some of the negative reactions I'm seeing about this redesign.<p>Digg lost me as a user about 3 years ago -- the S:N ratio had been getting pretty bad and reddit was still more focused and attractive for me. What I'm seeing of Digg v4 will probably win me back.<p>I'm finding myself increasingly annoyed at the noise on reddit, to the point that it's becoming almost useless as a general news outlet for me. The thing that is most appealing about the new digg to me is that it effectively allows a user to reduce the size of the community that propagates their feed without totally throwing away the advantages of their huge userbase.<p>Either way, I'm excited about possibly having a social news site that lets me vet my sources and, as a result, show me things I'm more likely to actually want to read.
