All of us who  use the Internet know that Digg is one of the most popular social media site in the Internet. It is the brain child of Kevin Rose. Over the years Digg has managed to become the biggest social bookmarking site in the Internet. But recently for a change, the minds at Digg have decided to do a complete makeover and now we are expecting a new version of Digg deemed as Digg v4. As far as we have come to know as of now, is that the makeover is being tested in beta and few lucky people have even been able to get an invite to preview the beta version of Digg v4.

Leaked images and videos have recently become a trend in the Internet and every new products have their Images and videos leaked nowadays. The trend started with Apple and now even Digg v4.0 Beta has got its Images leaked. Reportedly, a few leaked Images of Digg v4  was put up yesterday at ManMohanjit.com. The blogger states that he had got these images from one of his friends who was lucky enough to get a exclusive Digg v4 Beta invite.

The new avatar of Digg will have a lot of new features but on the other hand few of the old features will not be available though.

Some of the new features that Digg v4 currently has are:

  • Has onboarding process which enables the users to follow their friends, tastemakers and publishers.
  • New homepage called My News which has all the stories dugged by your friends.
  • Users will be able to see the comments in the homepage.
  • Features a leaderboard showing you the hottest news dugg by your friends on digg.
  • Users can automatically import stories from other social networks and websites via RSS.

Talking about the feature that will not be included in this new avatar, it has been already announced about 2 months back that the Diggbar will be abolished, so that is a feature that many people will miss.

Also it has been know that Digg will also be unbanning a number of sites which it had banned for spam. Many popular sites have been banned from Digg for spamming in the past.

How to Get an Invite for Digg v4 (Beta)?

Well, there is no smart way of getting invited to Digg v4 Beta. The only thing that you can do is:

1) Go this form New Digg

2) Click on “Don’t have access? Sign up for beta.”

3) Submit your Digg Username and Email address

If you follow the above step and if you are lucky enough ( I mean one in about 10,000) then you will get an exclusive beta invite to test the features of the New Digg V4.

  3. Shiva, a lot of what is listed here as new features on Digg have already been implemented on my new social news site, quippd. (http://quippd.com/popular).

    We have a home page that has all the stories liked by friends — and users are able to see comments on this page. We have a “leaderboard” of popular stories.

    We are missing an onboarding feature, however, and we don’t have an import for stories on other social networks or RSS feeds.

    I would really love it if you were to check out quippd — we have an intro with some more of the interesting features listed: http://quippd.com/about/intro

    Anyone who is interested in what Digg is doing may want to check us out — we are live! Hope you check us out! :)

  4. Importing of stories from other social sites looks cool. :-)

    Digg’s twitter-like approach is really bad. Ruined the site in my opinion.
