Isn't it tomorrow? I hope they:
- Speed the servers up
- Require articles to get MORE diggs to get promoted to FP, so RSSs don't b full ;)
-Build an official RSS Feed with direct links to the .. links :D .. Although we already have this: http://feeds.feedburner.com/DiggFrontpageStoriesLinklog

Well , because Technology is the old thing.
Btw, they edit my story entitled "New Digg v3 Launched" ..

They're still very slow. I wish speed would have been a priority on their v3.

I also think they should get rid of sub-categories, or at least come up with meaningful ones. I see they slightly changed them for "technology", but they're still not too useful. (Software? Aren't all web apps software? Apple? Why not Google? Tech Deals? What's that supposed to be? Mods got its own category, why?)

Now that they got the categories "gaming" and "video" I also wonder how that's going to cannibalize their own tech section. I mean why can't I select "technology", "gaming" and "videos" if it's e.g. a E3 video?

Also, they ought to focus on usability with some of their contrast – the story title and description on the submission dialog are kinda hard to read.

Other than that, I like changes such as the instant submission preview, and I'm yet undecided on whether I like the navigation on the left side on all pages.
