Digg, the Former Homepage of the Internet, Is Back (With Help From AI)
1 min read
Summary
Kevin Rose, the founder of the social news website Digg, has taken back control of the business and will be relaunching the service in the coming months with the help of Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
The competition between the two sites, which both launched in the mid-2000s, was once regarded as fierce, with each vying for the same audience.
Digg allowed users to find and promote interesting news stories on the internet, with the most popular stories rising to the top of the site; Reddit employed a similar model, but with community-led forums.
The new version of Digg will use artificial intelligence to help moderators focus on tasks other than simple administration, while also helping users better navigate content.
Those keen to try out the new-look site can visit reboot.digg.com and register for early access.
