Last time Digg went down it took a few hours to get it back up. At least they had a Digg Down screen. This time there is no screen, and the site simply doesn't load. Not sure what is going on yet, will keep you posted.
Digg went down today at approximately 8:15pm, and is still down. came back up at 8:48pm! If anyone knows what happened, please post in comments.
It's bad timing for our blog, as one of our postings made it to the top of Digg today, and was on its way to breaking a record for most Digg's in a day. Last time Kevin Rose blogged about Digg being down, he explained they had to take it down to finally put in some redundant systems. Apparently, they are not that redundant yet.
Looks like the reason Digg was probably down was to get ready for their new "ALL" page. Kevin Rose talks about it on his blog. Looks like it will be awesome, however I wish the site would stop going down whenever they have new upgrades.
Earlier Today Software Development in the Real World was on Digg's Front Page!
Now Digg is completely down and all traffic from Digg has stopped.
Hopefully they get these issues resolved. Otherwise, I wonder if another Digg like service will emerge?
Update at 8:40pm: Digg still down, but Digg Man is up, progress?
Digg came back up at 8:48pm.
