4 Reasons Why Digg V4 Sucks
The new Digg has been around for couple of days. There are a lot of major changes in the new version and as any other website that go under changes, it received a lot of criticism from users. I always get excited when a website, software, or any other thing comes with new features, but the story is completely different with the new Digg and I wished I could still use the older version.
Here are 5 reasons why I think the new Digg sucks:
-
1. Goodbye to content submitted by users
The whole point of Digg was for users to submit their stories so that other people could find obscure, but interesting content on the internet. In the new Digg, you see many links from major websites such as engadget, mashable, etc. If anyone wants to read stories from major websites, they can either go to those websites directly or subscribe to their feeds. -
2. Nothing works
I have tried many times to Digg a story up, to write a comment, or to load comments with no luck. What were those engineers doing in the testing stage? Digg's QA team sucks big time. -
3. Subcategories are gone
I am a big fan of the Linux, and programming sections under technology category. Sometimes I just want to see Linux related stories and don't really care about how to jailbreak iPhone 4. They seriously have to get those sub categories back. -
4. The Android App is not functioning anymore
I don't know what they did to their APIs, but I'm damn sure that the new changes made their Android App unusable as well. Let me know if you saw any content on your Android app.
I am a big Digg fan, but I'm switching to Reddit for now till they fix above issues.
