Last fall, Kevin Rose revisited the idea of reviving Digg, a once-popular social link-sharing site. After discussions with a group of collaborators including Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, they envisioned leveraging AI to create a better social platform. Rose, Ohanian, and others have now acquired the Digg domain and assets to relaunch the platform. The new Digg aims to foster community-first interactions reminiscent of its past, while integrating advanced AI tools to assist moderators and enhance user experience. The initial launch is a prototype featuring a homepage and sub-communities, with ambitions to evolve into a dynamic community-driven platform. The team emphasizes the importance of user input in shaping the future of Digg. — news from The Verge
