digg – Geek Muse

Digg now indexes podcasts! Of course, Diggnation and TWIT are at the top of their list. However, the cool thing is that can digg/bury and discuss individual episodes in a podcast.

A ton of other design and function changes happened on Digg this morning as well. Including moving the ads around a little bit so that the site is *much* more usable, IMO.
