I would love to read your thoughts on what Digg should do next to stay ahead of the competition. A first mover advantage can disappear fast if the competition is more innovative and gives users more of what they want. (In this case that would probably be links to articles that are interesting to certain users.) One example is Reddit's built-in recommender system, which makes it easier for users to find articles they care about by suggesting new articles based on other users with similar viewing habits. Do you see Digg moving in this direction? Do you see any drawbacks to adding an optional feature like this?

I'm not sure if it's feasible, but I have two suggestions for Digg:

1) Separate out links to blog content vs. traditional media content. Perhaps have a way to sift through only blog content or only media content or the classic mix of both.

2) Do something more about the duplicate problem... Though I'm not sure what's needed, something creative.
