Digg: Frustratingly Addictive

I've recently added Digg to my iGoogle home page. It's both addictive and frustrating at the same time.

Digg is basically a collection of stories, comments, articles, presented to the Digg community for comment. Digg(ers) can promote or demote articles, with the most popular appearing in my iGoogle homepage.

At any time, there's at least two or three articles that I must read. It is addictive.

Now here's the frustrating part.

At the same time I want to read the atricles, everyone else wants to read them too! So intense is the server traffic, that in most cases, it takes persistence to even get the original article to load into my browser.

Some sites mirror the original content to allow better access and sometimes Digg(ers) will post the original content in a reply so people can see it.

Unless Digg can address this situation soon, I think my impatience will win out over my curiosity. My attention span is just too short.
