Digg has brought video content out from the sidelines in a redesign that reincludes video streams. In a message to members yesterday, Digg designer Daniel Burka explains the changes and outlines how Digg can be customized by individual users to show just news or video content, or to combine the two.
Another change makes it easier for users to bury content by eliminating a required explanation box. Ironically, Digg says it made this change in order to "... help us get more feedback from people about what they don’t like (by making it easier to bury) so we can make more accurate determinations about unpopular content."
Digg remains the most popular social news site despite competition from search marketing focused Sphinn and the general social news network, DropJack.
