- An update to the algorhythm stops single user domination on the home page - upgraded to the new v4 platform.
- Uppercase/lowercase issues are fixed
- Thumbs icon will be reinstated
- "My news" will include timestamps
The Digg user ranking will be a useful addition as it will make it easier to choose Diggers to follow. For example, if I am interested in Baseball news, the content and Diggers will be neatly organized for me to view, follow and Digg.
Suggestions for possible improvements:
Broader category list - The Digg categories are a little broad and a little vague. Business/Entertainment/Gaming/Lifestyle/Offbeat/Politics/Science/Sports/Technology/World News
Many Diggers have reported the experience of constantly submitting to "Offbeat" for lack of a more definitive category. Offbeat connotes "wacky" and this may not always be appropriate when submitting a serious article with no known category.
Possible additions to categories:
marketing
blogging
lifestyle
hobbies
home/family
travel
shopping

According to the error messages, it is only around 28% likely this is Matt's fault. Presumably when Matt takes a larger role, his likelihood of involvement will increase!

More categories is a welcome addition but they shouldn't overdo it.
@Layla - I did suggest a lot of categories, but you get the general idea...
