Yes, it happens to everyone. I went to digg an article this morning and found that Digg was indeed Down. No report on why or how long on their blog, but I was interested to see site recommendations from the Digg staff.
Amar recommends a BBC site about Planet Earth. As a long-time resident of this BigBlueBall, it naturally caught my eye, but it’s really more of a one-time visit type of site.
Rocketboom was Brian’s choice, which left me wondering if his selection was made in the Congdon days or afterwards.
Dan is apparently a big Oasis fan. All I remember them for is Wonderwall, but apparently they made other songs, too.
On the other hand, Daniel shares a site called Top Left Pixel, the wonderful photo blog of Sam Javanrouh. He posts one new photo each day.
Maybe his head is in the stars, but Eli gives us HubbleSite — with all things about the Hubble space telescope. I like the gallery, but I’ve never been a fan of astronomy.
Fearless leader Kevin gives us Ask a Ninja. Is this an insider view into the decision-making process of the Silicon Valley?
Jay shares one of my favorites, the Onion. Seriously, who doesn’t love good satire?
I have to wonder if Owen is the finance guy? His pick was Dealbreaker, an interesting blog on Wall Street. Did you know, for instance, that 60% of homosexuals rank online banking as important, compared to only 50% of heterosexuals. Neither did I.
If Owen is the finance guy, Steve must be the designer. He shares A List Apart, a great site for all things CSS.
They added a gratuituous, albeit “timeless” link to Wikipedia, links to the various LAMP components (hopefully they didn’t contribute to this downtime), and a plug for the Digg blog (which again, didn’t say why Digg was down). But all-in-all, an interesting way to share during that downtime. Maybe we could all take a page from their playbook.
Interesting how this went down, then Yahoo and MySpace..who is next? And why?
