[...] So, a lot of people weren’t as impressed by the new design as by the new features of digg version 3 [1,2,3]. The reception of the new categories was generally positive — finally we have a place to put those articles that aren’t directly tech related. Even so, some think the decision for this expansion was mainly money-driven. It may have played an important part, and I frankly don’t see anything wrong with that. [...]

Personally I think it was a good move. You are correct in saying that the current readership is more ‘Technology’ minded, but this change doesn’t really effect them.

Isn’t it just an opportunity for more people to get involved in the site? People who might be interested in the World News…

I don’t see it causing them any problems, and most likely more growth.

Doesnt’ anyone remember the days of Systm and how it turned into two guys sitting on a couch drinking beer?

I think the expansion is a way to contain the less intelligent crowd and to introduce new blood into the digg community. Kevin wants digg to be taken seriously and to do this he needs to break up or contain the Apple faction that uses digg as a place to hang out.

I think if there’s anyone motivated to expand the site it’s Kevin. Go back and listen to the Digg 3.0 annoucement and listen carefully to what Kevin has to say.

Perhaps it’s another sign of a company getting greedy. The golden rule of business is don’t spread self too thin and know your market and stick to it. Only time will tell if it is a smart move or not. It has got everyone talking about them again and brings to mind the publicity good concept.

i think it is a good move. I’ve always dreamt of visiting just 1~3 sites to get everything i need instead of going all over.

We can agree on that, on the premise that we agree that millions in funding never always equates to bad decision making ability either.
