Digg losing 1/3 of its traffic overnight (v4) (imgur.com)

An Alexa graph. Seriously? While I wouldn't be surprised if Digg's traffic is changing, I'd hardly cite Alexa as an authoritative source.


And a single day doesn't mean anything, either. The day they changed to v4, I experienced very slow page loads and even crashes. It doesn't surprise me that a bad launch causes people not to visit for a bit while the site fixes itself.


apparently, there's more. Looks like there's a peasants' revolt going on, with numerous people posting and upvoting links to reddit on digg, today...
