Bye Bye Digg...Slashdot you're next

Here is an interesting story about the decline of news aggregator site, Digg. Digg changed their interface to one which would not load in a reasonable amount of time. That's dangerous, considering there is a plethora of other sites doing the same thing. Like a lot of others, I checked "out of there" in frustration and moved onto Reddit.

Coincidentally, Digg's interface follows in the footsteps of Slashdot which did something almost as bad with their interface. Sometimes their interface still works, but it seems to fail when you really want to read a story and the comments. For example, try loading all comments for this story:
