Digg Gets a Makeover With Upcoming Launch of Version 4

Have you seen the highlights of the new Digg version 4 that will be launching in a few weeks? Digg is getting a nice revamp and will have more of a Twitter feel to it. Obviously this post contains no new news for those who have already seen the video, but is instead intended for those who haven’t.

You can now Follow other Diggers, sorting through a list of Digg users, with their icon, display names and number of followers.   You’ll be able to Digg articles and follow only the Diggs from the Diggers you want to follow on the “My News” section, kinda like Twitter.

Back in the day, it was frowned upon by the Digg community to Digg your own blog posts, but the new format will provide auto submit by RSS and the success of your content will be much less dependent upon who you are. Take a look at the video below, which features Kevin Rose giving a sneak peak.

Based on what I see in this video, I think I’m going back to Digg very soon to have fun with Digg V4.
