Digg Down?

This morning I logged on to my computer at work with its two 17 inch monitors and clicked on the live bookmark for Digg.com, expecting so see all the top stories at the moment. What I found was the notice of "Live Bookmark Loading".

"Hmmmm, that's interesting," I said to myself. Soooo, then I tried to load the webpage itself. No dice. "What's going on here?" (I said to myself once again.)

So off I went to the blog of Digg to see if Kevin Rose had posted any news. Low and behold, I was met with zip, zilch, zero.

So, then I decided to ping the site and see if I even got a response. You can do it too if you like. Just hit START in windows, then type "ping" and then the IP address you are pinging. A ping will tell you how much time it takes for one packet of information to be sent and bounce back. Here's what I got when I pinged Digg.com (64.191.203.30)

Ping #1: * [No response]
Ping #2: * [No response]
Ping #3: * [No response]
Ping #4: * [No response]

That's not a good sign, no, not at all.  I did find out
some interesting information
regarding Digg.com's IP address though.  Here it is verbatim
