Digg announces new “blazing fast” site, Mashable partnership at SXSW
Social news site Digg announced an upcoming launch of a radically overhauled site, new.digg.com, that will go public in the next few weeks. Personalized homepages and faster performance are among the site’s major changes, as Digg struggles to compete with Twitter and Facebook for the attention spans of Internet news junkies. The site, new.digg.com , is currently collecting email addresses of people who wish to be notified when the new site is ready for user testing. Digg CEO Jay Adelson described the site’s changes to attendees at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas on Sunday. Adelson said the site has been under development for five years. Adelson said the new Digg would be able to handle millions of submissions per day, rather than the thousands for which the site had originally been architected.
