Digg, an Early Social and News Site, Officially Relaunches

Digg was an early Internet platform similar to Reddit.

Can you digg it? Digg, a news forum and social site similar to Reddit, launched an open beta version on Wednesday and is now available for download. Digg features a website and mobile app where people can read, create and comment on posts, as well as join communities. Upvoting content here is called «digging» it.

«The Digg Public Beta is rolling out and will be available to everyone everywhere shortly. That doesn’t mean Digg is ‘done,'» CEO Justin Mezzell said in a Digg post Wednesday. «It means we’re ready to grow in the open. To test features, listen closely, and evolve the product alongside the people using it. We’re just getting started, and you know the drill: things will change, feedback will shape direction, and Digg will keep getting better.»

The original founder of Digg, Kevin Rose, and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, now own the website and app.

As AI technology continues to grow, and many social sites become overrun with bots and other fake personas, Digg will experiment with various technologies to ensure that anyone verified on the app is a legitimate person with a genuine reason for verification, Rose told TechCrunch

Digg is now available for download on the Apple App store and Google Play Store.
