There are loads of Digg clones out there and all lay out each entry in the same way - title, short description, with the number of "diggs" and "digg this" button positioned on the left.

Has anyone seen any alternatives to this? Is everyone being lazy or is this now the expected layout for this type of site?

Digg's layout is really just a clone of slashdot. Wouldn't see any harm in going for something different, just it'd have to be as easy to use.

yeah but I'm really just refering to those sites that allow users to "digg" entries. the layout of those buttons rather than the whole site layout.

Digg originally had the number of diggs and a +/- symbol on the right.
