Digg launches new look

Digg all pageThere's still no images section, but Digg has launched a new front page design that includes both videos and text articles.

Up until now, the videos were hidden off in their own section, so you'd only find funny/weird/interesting movies if you went looking for them. And really, where's the fun in that?
