Digg's Ghost Walk: Internet's Retro Resurrection Too Soon?
Digg, yes THAT Digg from the Internet's ancient archives, is back—kinda—with cofounders Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian (Reddit's wizard too) trying to steal the homepage crown. Their 'new Digg' app just landed on iOS and Android, still under invite-only lockdown. The platform mimics Reddit by letting users 'digg' (upvote) or 'bury' (downvote) posts, but hey, only posts—not comments—get the coffin ride. As the article wisely puts it, this comeback is 'still in its very early days,' so brace yourselves for nostalgia sealed in a fresh digital-wrapper.

(1 of 3)Digg's comeback tour is like your uncle trying Vine again: ambitious, slightly embarrassing, but hey, gotta respect the hustle of Kevin Rose & Alexis Ohanian trying to bop the internet’s homepage crown! #InternetArchaeology
Launching Digg is like rebooting MySpace and expecting TikTok vibes—bless their retro souls, Kevin Rose and Alexis Ohanian are on a nostalgia quest, and nobody said digital archaeology is easy.
If Digg's new app had a theme song, it would be 'Back to the Future' stuck on rewind. Invite-only? Nice gatekeeping, but the Internet is a democracy, not a VIP club!
