Would you use a spinning chart to read diggs? Well, there is one that is being put together at the moment. You will be able to see the rating, views, number of comments, and popularity using the
Commentry platform. It looks something like this...
You would be able to scroll over one that you want to see and the information on that digg will pop up then you can go onto seeing the full digg posting... Will people use it? I don't think so... Too much going on and people like simplicity.
Yeah I'd definitely check out this new functionality on Digg but I'm honestly a little bit discouraged by the lack of feedback or additional diggs I get from being a part of the Digg community. Is digg made up entirely of bloggers and mainstream news readers, or maybe just the former who also qualifies as the latter? It bothers me that it's difficult to get stuff rolling on Digg and then you never hear from anyone or get many second Diggs. I hate the feeling...
