At its annual South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) party Saturday night, Digg announced that it will soon launch a significantly revamped version of its service that is faster and has instant Digging and instant submissions.
Just before Digg founder Kevin Rose and his Diggnation partner Alex Albrecht took the stage at Stubb's BBQ here, CEO Jay Adelson got in front of the audience of hundreds and took the opportunity to introduce, for the first time, what he said was "five years" of major work on the popular headline aggregation system.
Among the new features, Adelson said, are that any keyword can be its own category; that submissions will be a one-click process; that users will no longer have to log in to Digg something; that people's Digg home pages will be affected by their own interests; that the service is bringing back leader boards; and that it is ripping out its MySQL back end and moving to a infrastructure that will be "very, very fast."
