What’s Next for Digg.com?

Philipp Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped points to a podcast interview with the founder of Digg, a social news aggregation and voting site:

Also, Kevin talks about how surprised they all were when they saw that a breaking news story could make it to the Digg front-page withing 20 minutes or less. When news broke on the Digg front-page of a Flickr pool with London bombing cell phone photos, first Kevin (and many others) couldn't believe this was for real. Kevin checked the story on CNN and others mainstream news sources, but couldn't find any record of it. Only later did everyone find out that indeed the story was real, and that it got promoted to the top-level Digg hierarchy in amazingly little time. Now, Kevin adds, every other week a news story breaks on the Digg front-page.
