Digg Trends announced

Digg has announced a new feature launch on their social bookmarking service.

This new feature is named Digg Trends.

This feature would pick up an emerging hot story and put it on the homepage.

Users would get the ability to check out the story for a time period. If it becomes popular, it gets to stay on the homepage. Otherwise, it would be knocked out.

Digg has also launched a new twitter account for revealing a new story being featured on Digg Trends.

Digg said:

Digg Trends identifies and highlights upcoming stories that have a high volume of activity (think Diggs, comments, favorites, shares, etc.). When we detect a new trending story, it will appear on the homepage for ten minutes. Based on the Digg and bury activity in those ten minutes the story will either become popular or not.
