What about my data from the old Digg?
We believe that users own their data. We’re working on a system that will extract all user data from the old Digg infrastructure. In August we’re launching an archive website for users of the old Digg to find, browse, and share a history of their submissions, diggs, and comments.

Thing is, is it worth it to relaunch without user accounts and without a proper login solution?
It seems to me you are really looking at not having those users that was on the site for a long time, it's not like digg and facebook really goes hand to hand together...

Small trivia, on mountain lion if you "drag scroll (like on iphone)" the scrollbar at the top you see an N logo
I also really don't understand what was the decision behind breaking all older stories, it seems ludicrous they do not take advantage of that.
Even worse you now have to login with facebook! they did not bring back the old accounts, this seems like a very frustrating issue. Unless they want a completely new userbase...
I think they just threw the last remaining digger to reddit.
