I dunno, being able to pick who's diggs/submissions you follow in a personal stream seems really damned useful to me. That way people I know create great content I can follow their digg stream to see what they're doing without necessarily needing to follow their twitter or the like. If people use it the way it seems meant to be used could be awesome.

I think the number of people that have useful content to you but are not writing a blog are pretty darn small, and are probably already sending you links through IM or email.

  They might have multiple content streams that I want to aggregate, however. Or multiple substreams (for example, blog categories and I might only care about half of them). Being able to roll all that up into a single feed without bothering with something like yahoo pipes might be handy.

    So let me get this straight: You're a person who knows someone that doesn't want to start a blog but cares enough about the links/content they want to share that they will log in to Digg.com and categorize them properly. Oh, and you don't want to bother will yahoo pipes. Talk about a niche...

      Starting a blog just to re-distribute content doesn't sound like a proper solution to me..

I keep hearing about that, but how is it different from the pages in your profile?

Not sure if you knew this or not, but reddit has had this functionality for ages. Add people to your friends list, and go to /r/friends. Alternately, you can pick up someone's submissions rss feed, and I believe even their likes and dislikes if they opt in to make them public.

  But does reddit let you claim RSS feeds and auto post them as submissions? Supposedly Digg 4 does this.

    No, it doesn't. It's come up in /r/ideasfortheadmins before, but I don't recall hearing any official word from the admins on it.
