Controversial social news site Digg has hired Amazon.com's Matt Williams to be its new CEO, according to a scoop by TechCrunch this morning.
Williams has more than a decade of experience in online eCommerce and small business services, but little discoverable social media participation. He'll take the helm of a site that was groundbreaking just a few short years ago, still drives more traffic than any other technology news aggregator, but struggles to remain relevant as larger, more general interest ways to share and discover news have arisen.
