Digg.com, a tech-related news site that llets users vote on news items' importance, has unveiled a major redesign (its third) and expanded its coverage area beyond technology, with new site features that will go live on Monday (June 26), reports Publish. Content subject areas are World and Business, Video, Entertainment, Science and Gaming, each with subcategories. The site also expanded its personalization and social-networking features.

"We're giving our users more control over content filtering in more areas, which is just what they asked for," Digg founder Kevin Rose is quoted as saying. Digg users can now customize their site views and keep closer track of their friends' activities; they can also more easily "bury" news stories, or remove them from their view - and from their posting category.

The site receives 8.5 million unique visitors a month and has 9.5 million pageviews per day, and claims some 300,000 registered users.
