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.

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.
I tried it today, but it had a lot of bugs, almost every link I clicked something weird happen, now it's even down for quite some time. I guess they are fixing it like there's no tomorrow.
This is not good for the company rep. I mean, how can they launch a new version and the god damn thing it's crashing already ?
Com on Kevin, get Digg back to it's roots, this is Technology related + simplicity + ?? = profit.
Woah, their blog is powered by drupal. Odd. I guess their entire "about.digg.com" is probably Drupal. Looks like they're not doing a very good job scaling it :)
Is this just snark or a real question? AFAIK digg is still one of the largest news aggregation sites on the web and is right now still looking for both a sustaining revenue stream and (maybe) an exit.
anyone else get an http basic auth popup upon loading the main page? something about dads.digg.com, which I presume has to do with Digg Ads or something.

Voting on the right feels weird (used to HN on the left)
In comments, avatar+username take a lot of space.
Same digg, just a few weird visual changes.
