A new look for Digg emerged last night, bringing videos and news to a single page along with some Ajax technology updates to the site's menus. If you've been comfortable with Digg's redesigned menu, don't worry, Kevin Rose and company wouldn't dream of letting their users get too cozy. They have updated Digg in a couple of ways to suit the site's audience.

Their latest changes, summarized by Daniel Burka at Digg the Blog, blends popular videos and news on the main page. "We’ve gotten a lot of feedback that the videos are entertaining but people miss them because they’re isolated," Burka wrote.

The Bury function also received a makeover. The usual dropdown menu to choose a reason for burying a story is still in place, but reasons are optional instead of required for burying a story. Anyone who's pressed for time can click the Bury icon and go on with their lives, without having to figure out if a story is inaccurate or just lame.

"This aims to help us get more feedback from people about what they don’t like (by making it easier to bury) so we can make more accurate determinations about unpopular content," Burka wrote of the change to the Bury function.

Digg's navigation elements now embrace dropdowns. The choices for News, Videos, and Podcasts allow the visitor to pick which section of each they would like to go to immediately, rather than just going to the main section for each and navigating from there.

Burka also noted that the design change makes room for a dedicated Images section of Digg, as well as any other sections they may wish to add in the future.
