In the last digg town hall someone pointed out a huge issue that plagues digg – the upcoming section. The problem pointed out is that digg has so many users on at one point, submitting news, that the upcoming section scrolls too quickly. In response, Kevin stated to use the digg spy tools, so you can better visualize the upcoming section. It was such a weak response and I was very disappointed that he didn’t acknowledge that there is a problem and that they’re working on it.

So this post is a call to Kevin Rose to change the upcoming section so that submissions are easier to see, understand, and vote on – and an example of one way that it could be changed. The idea is to give more power to the social aspect of digg, highlighting submissions from your friends.
