I've been in the beta for a while now (they sent me an invite). I like it a lot better. I joined Digg when it was just a technology news site, and I used it less and less as it become more about other news than tech news, especially all the images and videos.
With the new Digg, I just friend those news sources I like so My News mostly shows things I'm interested it. The hard part is finding the right people to friend. I find articles that people submitted, but then I have to see if they've submitted a lot of stuff I don't like. If I friend them I may end up seeing a bunch of news I don't care about.
Still, I find Hacker News to be a much better tech news source.
- studer 16y agoThe RSS autopost stuff puzzles me. Are they turning into an on-line RSS reader, with a shared discussion space?

I'm just going to come out and say this: Hacker News is better than other aggregators because of the smaller population of morons. Although I did find the PG hatefest on Reddit over his "no assholes" comment quite amusing. I think it's ironic how they hold the discussion on the board of a YC startup.
