Digg has just gone down.

Kevin Rose announced that Digg would be adding new categories to the currently tech site, such as Politics and World News. There’s doubts, however, that it will be successful, with lots of the evidence showing that its only the tech crowd that are interested in such sites. It will be a big test as to whether Web 2.0 has any importance outside the early adopter community. More on this at Techcrunch.

Oh, well, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Update: The old digg’s just gone back up, so I guess we’ll have to wait a bit longer!
