    I really think the design is clean and simple. New users can easily understand what this site is for and can navigate the site fine. When i first visited digg, it was very cluttered and it felt like every detail is bombarded to you at once, i hit the close button immediately. I find this redesign very refreshing to the eyes and noob friendly. Every link is clearly separated and easy to spot. In fact, i love digg now.

    it's their identity

    first thing this need to be changed, then give it some respect! a bit of breathing room...

    why all the rounded boxes

    I know that this is more about usability, but these rounded boxes and highlights are just plain... bleugh!

    what's this?

    Nav rollover

    This is fairly dated and looks IMHO ugly

    do they really need the underline

    You can tell it's a heading, it's a different color, I think the underline is ugly and makes the text too squashed up

    I know that DIGG is blue

    but there seems too much of it, I think they really need to look at a better color sheme

Step 1 - Follow

    incosistent styles

    main page or homepage if you like, has a different style, the buttons should stay the same, I like this style alot better, but I have incosistencies...

    these are the only options??

    wow, ok so there's more than just these 3 in all the social media sites, that people follow... I would of thought, to increase the traffic that they would at least add more options in here
