Today, the most famous social news site
Digg.com has finally
got a long-promised and long-awaited
section with images .
The new function Digg Images when adding a link to the site automatically checks it for images and creates 10 "thumbnails", allowing the user to select one. Then they are used in the new Images section, which produces images not only in the form of a list (familiar to us in the Videos section), but also
in the form of a mosaic . In order to prevent images from being repeated, Digg
uses duplicate
technology from the French company Idée.
In addition to the appearance of the Images section, several new subcategories appeared in Digg, and the organization of the old subcategories and categories was revised. So, Offbeat became a separate category with its own subcategories and the Lifestyle category was added.

In addition to launching a section with images, in agreement with
Photobucket , a
page with the most popular “zaginennye” images appeared on the photo hosting site and added the ability to add images to Digg directly from the Photobucket.com website.
