Digg Down? Problems With Digg.com Reported By Users

It seems Digg is down!

We've been experiencing long load times and running into problems getting on the site, and it seems we're on the only ones having trouble on Digg.

There's been speculation that Digg's downtime may be related to its long-anticipated forthcoming redesign. The Next Web writes, "The next version is to change the way Digg works, allowing websites to import feeds of their content into Digg. This is a dramatic change from the current method of having individuals submit stories one at a time. What effect this might have on power users remains to be seen."

A Digg power user tweeted what may be a hint that a new look for Digg is coming soon:

Woohoo, @digg will be back soon :)less than a minute ago via Tweetie
