What is "messy" about it specifically? I don't see much mess here. Good typography and a visually-interesting layout.

  The whole "mason" best fit I suppose. In comparison to say reddit and HN, no real linear flow of headlines. Your eyes tend to dart all over the place with this design looking for information. The F pattern seems to be proven as the best layout for information absorption http://www.useit.com/alertbox/reading_pattern.html http://www.useit.com/alertbox/reading_pattern.html

  Those inline tweets are grating. The overuse of lines to delineate related content looks visually noisy. I also think the top story is given way too much space. On my 1280 x 800 display, the new Digg shows me 2.5 stories. I'd like for them to use a tighter grid so they could fit 4-5 stories above the fold on lower resolution displays.

  Yes! What's not to like about it, I find the content engaging, the photos (a la Zite) interesting and the site layout looks and works well. I don't see why all these naysayers are complaining about the masonry layout. Magazines looked that way for several reasons, one of them is people seem to like the format. I'm all for sites rethinking the classic list design as we sees here in hn, it's informationaly dense (hacker news) but that only works when the domain is very specific. For Digg, the magazine look works much better. Well done Digg for having some design flair.
