Digg, the social news platform co-founded by Kevin Rose in 2004, is making a comeback with a focus on crypto tools and AI, thanks to investments by both Rose and Alexis Ohanian. The revamped Digg will implement embedded wallet technology from Privy, allowing users to create wallets using just their email, simplifying the onboarding process by eliminating technical barriers like seed phrases. Rose emphasized the need for a modern authentication system while enhancing user engagement through incentives, leveraging Web3 mechanics. The team envisions integrating AI to maintain community standards and content moderation. Justin Mezzell, the platform's new CEO, hinted that the platform would explore rewarding positive user contributions through cryptocurrency. This revival is part of a broader shift towards combining social media with blockchain technology, which aims to promote deeper connections among users.
