Hi zackmania,

We recently launched a few new features here on Digg, and wanted to let you know to check them out.

Digg Trends is now live

Digg Trends is a new feature on Digg that highlights active upcoming stories that haven't yet hit the homepage. The concept is simple: stories that have received a lot of activity in a short period of time (Diggs, comments, etc.) will now appear in a special section at the top of the homepage for ten minutes. You can then Digg or bury the story, and depending on your vote recorded within those ten minutes, the story will either become popular or not. Here's what it looks like in action:


We've also set up a Twitter account - @digg_trends - to alert you when a Digg Trend is up for voting on the homepage.

Digg Trends only happen a few times a day, so be sure to login to Digg regularly so you can weigh in.
The Big Turn On: Announcing DiggTV
We know a lot of the Digg users are also huge fans of shows like Diggnation and The Digg Reel, so we've recently launched a place for you to catch all of your favorite Digg shows.

What's on?

Diggnation: Hosted by Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose, Diggnation is a beer-fueled tech/web culture show dedicated to the discussion of the top stories on Digg, whether it's the latest flame wars or thoughts on time travel.

The Digg Reel: Host Andrew Bancroft features the funniest, coolest, & most controversial Digg videos of the week.

Digg Dialogg: You ask, we listen. Submit questions to fascinating luminaries like Matt Damon, Trent Reznor, Sir Richard Branson and we ask the top ones during the video interview.

You'll also find Digg Townhalls, videos from our Meetups and more. Be sure to check it all out at tv.digg.com

As with all of our features, we'd love to know what you think, so feel free to drop us a line and give us your feedback & suggestions.

Thanks,

The Digg Team
