At the “Bigg Digg Shindigg”event at the South by Southwest Interactive Conference (SXSWi), the plans to launch a revamped version of Digg was unveiled. The new version of Digg, known as Digg 2.0 was described as being faster and allowing instant digging.
Unveiled by Digg CEO Jay Adelson, the revamped version of the popular bookmarking site has been a project “five years in the making.” Digg 2.0 will allow single click submissions, and users will no longer need to login to the site to Digg content. The new site will also replace its MySQL back end with a much faster infrastructure.
A few of the other features that the new site will have include new personalization options, a cleaner interface, and the return of leaderboards for top users. You can sign up for the alpha and get a look at the preview for the new site at New.Digg.com.
