Welcome back to the early-millennium social media era as Digg has relaunched as an open beta today after a closed beta last year. The site is now back in the hands of founder Kevin Rose, with funding from Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian.
Digg has risen from the ashes with the aim of bringing back the early internet era where content was generated by community suggestions rather than determined by algorithms. It currently has around 67 communities and over 67,000 invite-only users. It can be accessed via the website or via Android and iOS apps.
The original site launched in 2004 before a major change saw many users migrate to Reddit, leading to Digg being sold to Betaworks in 2012. Last year, Rose and Ohanian announced they were buying Digg back and it would be relaunched as it was.
