Two features that would make Digg better

I know its a faux pas, (however its spelled) to link to your blog, even moreso if its a crappy blog you hardly update, but to post something on digg, you have to have a link so I figured why not.

Anyway Digg 3.0 is great, I love using it, but I was hoping for two features that didn't make the cut.

The ability to have my own comments highlighted (That way I can quick scroll through a story that has a lot of comments and see if anyone responded to what I said.

Private messages I would love to send some of my friends private messages through the site, it would be a great way to communicate with other users without putting my email address out in the wild.

Anyway I'm sure I'll get yelled at for posting my blog, sorry.
