> As for the voting system that was always at the heart of Digg, the new owners say that users will continue to be able to vote on stories but that the algorithm will also take Facebook shares and tweets into accounts (that’s actually a feature Digg planned for its v4 release before it scrapped it before the launch). Votes on the site, the new team says, will get priority but it sees shares on other social media sites as “important signals” that will be “closely monitored” by a team of moderators.

Awesome, now you won't even have to sign up for Digg in order to game the system!



You can kind of see it live with the last shot. Here's the link: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7s2vzagcl1qgtzil.jpg


I prefer to just call this Digg v5.
