Digg, originally founded in 2004, intends to reboot as a community-centric platform that embraces AI for content moderation and user engagement. After its peak, Digg lost prominence to competitors like Reddit, but founders Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian, now business partners, aim to restore its relevancy. With backing from True Ventures and innovation from new CEO Justin Mezzell, Digg plans to merge its nostalgic roots with modern technology, including mobile-first designs and AI tools to manage content curation effectively, addressing historical challenges for community-focused sites.
"I just hit him up and we started chatting about the golden era of Web 2. What we did right, what we did wrong, and what we would change today..."
"The relaunch aims to blend nostalgia with innovation, combining the website's early ethos with a mobile-first design and features like haptic feedback."
