I rather like the changes made to Digg. I got tired every day of going to the site and reading things that organizations obviously wanted to digg up for the sake of hitting a larger audience. Essentially, it boiled down to kind of like trying to get to the top of Google Search rankings. And often times it kind of felt like if you go to Google and type "abortion", you end up finding the front page filled with religious, anti-abortion sites that paid their way to the top. I prefer the new format since it lets me get news I'm interested in. Nobody can game the system to "reach me". They re-added the "top news" section if you want something similar to the old Digg style, but the changes overall are for the better. The only seemingly negative part of the change is the wealth of comments. Many articles now have very few comments. It's a fair trade off though since I was getting extremely tired of the dribble of interest groups trying to pay their way to shut me out of getting information I want to read. It's a different Digg, and I think the execution and move could have gone better than dumping it on people without significantly announcing the change. They could have retained more users and gotten more support for it if they did just a tad bit of marketing first. Either way, I like the change and will continue to use the site.
