Sneak peak at the new Digg.com

Digg.com have just released a video, featuring CEO, Kevin Rose explaining a soon-to-be-launched new site.Key changes:

• All Digg users will go through an “on-boarding process” that asks them to follow friends, tastemakers and publishers.
• Users will be asked to import their social graphs from Facebook, Twitter, etc. There’s also a suggested user list for users.
• Their home page will no longer show just top stories by total votes. Instead, it will show links from people and publishers you follow, called My News.
• Hugely popular stories on Digg will still be shown on a top news channel.
• If a user Diggs a story, all followers of that user will then see it in their feed, too, which is sort of like Twitter's Retweet feature.
• Publishers will now be able to auto-publish their content via RSS feeds to Digg, eliminating the need for someone to add a story for the first time. Each story will start off with one Digg.
• The process for adding a story manually is also much simpler – a user pastes the URL into Digg and an image, title and summary are automatically generated.
