I somehow also got an invite to the new Digg, which surprised me because I'm hardly a power user. As someone who doesn't spend a lot of time on digg, I would've never noticed some of the things Brent talks about in his post. But I do like what I see as a casual user.

I'd love to see this but ... the site is down!

1st thing to make sure in social media - be prepared for loads of traffic - :(

Too late and not enough of a change. Also suggesting "aplusk" as a trusted source is pitiful.

Based on this article, on first look it does seem like it will be a nicer experience for the more casual user (if there is such a thing?)
