If you’re asking yourself, how can one RSS feed be better than the original, and why should you care, you’re right up to a point: there’s nothing spectacular here. Still, if you’re not happy with Digg’s RSS feed having only 40 items (more news items usually pass through Digg’s front page in 24 hours), you should consider DiggFeedr.

DiggFeedr uses Digg API and Ruby on Rails to create a new RSS feed for Digg, which has 100 items, with each item containing a bit more details than the items in the original RSS feed for Digg. Furthermore, clicking the titles bypasses the Digg comments and leads you directly to the story, which - although quite easily achievable with some scripting knowledge - can be a great feature for some. Last but not least, DiggFeedr seems to retrieve items a bit earlier than the original Digg feed. Check out a screenshot (taken from my Netvibes) below.
