The fact that Digg has 104 servers, and is still a little slow is scary. We're talking massive traffic. I think the figure was somewhere around 8 million hits per month? The befriending thing has really been annoying me, I hope they bring it back in its entirety. The Podcasting and Video sections I don't mind. I don't usually venture into the two, but they're cool. The whole redesign is also cool with me, but I'm getting slightly tired of the ever changing layout. The main menu: In v2 it was on the right. In v3 it was on the left. Now in v3.5 it's on top! Where's v4 going to be? On the bottom of the screen? Hmmmm. Also, my biggest complaint is that the Submit link is no longer on every page. I can only submit a link from the front page. If I'm in my profile or a friend's profile, I'm forced to go to the front page to get the submit link. I could type it out.... but that doesn't make things easier for the users. That should be Digg's #1 goal (and ANY website): Make things as easy and functional as possible. Anyways great review Derek, keep up the good work! --Jon Z Great article.

Though it has speeded it up in the past few weeks, it still remains painfully slow. The new update hasn't helped much. Would be nice to see the resurrect feature. Is it accessible now?
