Now I will not claim that I am a fan of Digg whatsoever. The site’s layout is flawed and power users dominate and dictate what is on the font page of the site. Even with its Facebook connect option, it is still a pain to log into and I’ve found it glitchy.

Finding news that I want to see is often hard. While I love trending news, Twitter and Facebook get it to me faster. The news there is relevant because folks I respect and trust share it. Looking at Digg’s front page now, how many of the top three stories would you want to read?

1. 20 Realistic And Lifelike Portraits That Will Blow You Away
2. Why Isn’t BP Under Criminal Investigation?
3. Awesome Automotive Acronyms

Do you use Digg regularly? Are you excited about version 4?
