There has been a fair amount of talk on the new site design of digg.com.
Digg was an early adopter of Ajax technology (the polling, the digging itself, etc), and what is interesting about this new design is that they haven't gone crazy with new Ajax features.
That being said, there is a lot of JavaScript being used here:
Lightboxes are the most obvious new addition, seem mainly in the video section, but also in other places.
I wonder if the main site itself will let you turn on auto-polling, so changes can come to you. As we use more and more apps like Gmail, Google Reader, etc that update themselves so we stop hitting the refresh button, I wish I could have digg do the same.
In general I like the new design, especially the improved width.
