What does it mean for the links we have submitted to Digg now that they have added "NoFollow" on all external links?

I am relatively new to using Digg and do not know how this will effect the links I have submitted.

It depends on what you use digg for. If you are posting articles to generate traffic to your sites, that will not be affected, if you use digg to generate backlinks and increase your page ranking, you will probably see your links get the nofollow attribute added.

Digg says they will only use nofollow on untrusted links, the big question of course is what makes a link trustworthy or not. There's no word from digg on this, but speculation is that the popularity of the entry plays a huge part. So, small sites that receive few diggs will probably find that their entries get the nofollow treatment.

How critical this is is still open to debate though, google says the nofollow attribute no longer will as effective.

First it's not all links that have become no follow Read http://niche-traffic-sale.blogspot.com/2009/09/digg-now-using-no-follow-selectively.html
However I agree with you that digg was a useful source of backlinks
However for those who have networked successfully on DIgg and built a large network of mutual friends, no worries. The traffic will still come to your sites
Also links to posts that the digg community finds useful will still be do follow

This means I am not going to use Digg for linking back to my blog anymore, simply I don't care!

This means Digg will no longer give the rank or search engine juiceto submitted links!

I am following the movement of DoFollow:
