Is Digg Down For The Count?
Venture Beat, Friday, October 1, 2010 12:15 PM
Well, that settles it. VentureBeat officially deems Digg.com's recent redesign attempt "botched," which has resulted in a potentially fatal "traffic hole." Conceding as much, the news aggregator just announced the return of several popular features from its previous version. The Upcoming section is back along with a pagination feature.
"Pagination had been removed in favor of a feature similar to one on Twitter that allows users to expand the number of items on one page instead of clicking to another page," writes VentureBeat. Digg has also reintroduced user submission logs, and launched new publisher buttons. In a blog post, community manager Jen Burton admitted that Digg "obviously has been experiencing some growing pains." The concern, however, among community members is that Digg is struggling too much and may not be able to reignite the interest of those who have left, according to VentureBeat.
