Last week I was working with someone and showing her the ropes of social media marketing and other general topics. I had showed her how to sign up for Digg, StumbleUpon, and various other Social Networks, but, we stumbled on the fact that they are no longer accepting new sign ups because the new digg is coming.

Here is a screenshot from the sign up page. You’ll see they are asking users to submit their email addresses and get notified when the new digg launches.

Along with that, user profile settings have been temporarily limited as well:

Thanks Rob Woods for pointing that out

So, what does this mean? Does this mean that the new Digg will be launching sooner than expected? There has been much speculation about what Digg 4.0 will have in store for us and also an extremely comprehensive breakdown by Brent Csutoras of the new Digg Version 4.0 Alpha.

If you haven’t done so yet, request an invite at: http://new.digg.com/.

What do you think will happen with the new Digg? Do you think it will be coming out soon? Sooner than expected??
