Digg is getting another revival, this time with an injection of AI

Two former rivals are teaming up to revive Digg. Its founder Kevin Rose and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian have bought the platform and plan to relaunch it soon.

According to a press release, Rose and Ohanian “have teamed up to revive the social platform with a fresh vision to restore the spirit of discovery and genuine community that made the early web a fun and exciting place to be.” Rose and Ohanian, both now venture capitalists, have also been meeting with community leaders from online forums (including Reddit) to try and better understand what gets in their way or frustrates them in order to address those factors in the new Digg. The most recent version of Digg was still pretty solid, as it continued to offer a nice blend of curated material from around the web as well as some original writing from its editors.
