just been doing some Digging around
- seems Digg was sold and is under new management http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/12/digg-sold-to-linkedin-and-the-washington-post-and-betaworks/
for now the api is also down - categories not working and previous Diggs resulting in 404 pages -

They will be back - its sold for loads but I dont think the removal of all the categories and links was the best way to go

Is Digg still in a state of flux?
Of, have they sorted things out?
Anybody got a clear read on Digg after the changes?

Thanks for your inputs...
Although its too early to tell, it looks like major changes is ahead for Diggs.
I'll be monitoring this myself...

When digg was "hot" people would often rave about the million plus hits they got when a story exploded however this kind of traffic was always reserved for human interest articles or something political. In hopes that one of my articles might get featured on digg I kept the social link around and would randomly post stores to digg to see if they got any traction.

A new team has bought digg for a dead cheap rate. They are working on a new concept altogether starting from scratch, and not all submitted links will be published. we got to wait and see how this new platform evolves, for now use SU, good for both traffic and seo..

I never did like digg, I tried it last year for one of my sites, and I never got any traffic from it. I prefer Reddit a million times over digg.

Digg was sold for 500k? Oh my.. Google had offered them 200 million 4 years ago.
