June 30, 2010 | Author admin

I am really excited to have received an invite like a beta tester to the new version of Digg.com, one of Xarxes socials that I consider is most influential on the web. Reading how each day my email I found a message that called me kindly to view the future version of the famous social network.

Wow! That opportunity, after Google Wave now I will from beta tester also Digg 2.0 well I show you what has changed.

I want in this post tell you about my first impressions on the new version of Digg, that is really innovative and rich of new features.

The first page by clicking the link in email provides a new login form in perfect style Web 2.0 where the blue is the dominant color. After having the login I face to a page where to find the profiles more in sight and authoritative.

As usual not missing the marks labeled and the most influential names of the Web, you pass by the newspapers as New York Times, Washington Post, in trade magazines such as Life i Wired, Engadget and other “Big Guys” really authoritative on web. Not lack even famous Guy Kawasaki, Arianna Hunffington and many other names famous world wide web.

new digg add friends page 600x444 New Digg release: my first impression

After having signed some new friendship I am in a social page where import friends from social network as Facebook, Twitter or Google Connect, then to move over and meet in the future home of Digg where you can customize the news to which it is concerned, subscribing to the various profiles.

La left sidebar in the new interface of Digg there is a links menu with a small list of the last active users on the new social. In the middle of the page there are the classic news with the vote system, but this time tailored to our choices previously published from the profiles that we have decided to follow, as happens on Twitter and based on the method of feed reader; while on the right in the other sidebar are the top news.

Upper center of the page there is a form for the news inclusion very quick and convenient, the reading of the news is very fast and comfortable, at the footer there is a button with the written “load more” which exploits the potential of Ajax and charging new content without the need to reload the webpage.

From the “Setting” page is possible to customize your profile, customize the notifications, and to import your own RSS Feed for the automatic news aggregation. In addition it is also provided a section where to insert the link at will as in a sort of blogroll.

From the top menu you can find your followers and the number of profiles that you are following, with a link that shows to a page with links to the various profiles.

Not lacking in footer the classics links as About, Contact us, Terms and Privacy, also have ended the link that leads to the API pages and the link to the Advertising page on the new version of Digg.

That is, a first impression very positive for the new version 2.0 of Digg that now appear with a fresh and clean interface and a new unknow GUI look, some features are clearly inspired by the trend of the moment (Twitter) where is possible to customize the social network to your own needs.

Well Done Kevin!
