Digg

We are very excited to announce the launch of Digg's official app for the iPhone. This free app was designed to create a seamless browsing experience between Digg and the most popular content on the web, as chosen by the Digg community. We wanted to make it easy to discover interesting content on your phone and to easily jump into the conversations around that content. You can browse lists of recent content, search for the topics you care about, and save stories to check out later. Best of all, you can join in on the curation by Digging and burying stories and comments right from your phone! Download it now ...

This video gives a detailed rundown of all the great features we've packed into the app.

The app was created by the talented team over at TapTapTap and showcases a lot of the great things that can be built off the Digg API, including writable endpoints that let developers create fully-featured applications.

To help get the word out, TapTapTap is hosting a contest where anyone can win one of fourteen beautiful Digg iPads, one each day for two weeks, customized by Colorware.

Finally, we want you to know that this is just the first of many things we’re working on in the mobile space. Look for a Digg app for Android soon and we'll follow up this iPhone release with several iterations which will include improvements based on your feedback. In addition, we'll be rolling out features on these and other platforms that draw off some of the changes we're working on for digg.com. We've got a lot going on so if you're interested in joining our mobile development team, please be sure to check out jobs.digg.com.

We know this app's been a long time coming and we appreciate all the interest and patience we've gotten from the Digg community, especially those of you who had to wait a bit for it to be available in the U.S. app store. Enjoy and please tell us what you think!
