The issue appears to be across all browsers and subsections of the link sharing site. Although an email sent to them for information on the issue has not been returned the issue could be a problem with their database as any attempt to enter a link comes back with an error saying that the system could not crawl the link (it even did this for an MSN.com article.). We also checked on the site from multiple locations and even attempts to access it from mobile devices turned up no article links.

Although we are certainly hoping that this is nothing more than a technical glitch we are concerned that this could be something more with all of the recent breaches that have happened to services like LinkedIn, Last.fm, eharmony and more. We will be following up with Digg to find out more about the outage.
