Is Digg becoming irrelevant?

I have noticed on sites like Mashable that they are only including links at the top of the post to share on Twitter, Facebook, and Google Buzz. They are not the only site that is excluding Digg from that list. Is this saying somethingabout Digg? Is Digg becoming irrelevant or does this not indicate anything?
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Digg.com is continuing to expand. It's sole source of submissions from its community is its greatest asset and liability. At times I've received breaking news before any other media site thanks to Digg, but other times its top stories compromise mostly of the same kind of internet memes or things non-news (real news) related.

As long as Digg's members continue to participate and submit good content, the site's life will still thrive.

I use digg and I don't think it's becoming irrelevant
Having said that I have noticed much less activity than there was say this time last year
I think two factors directly influenced this

The first is the removal of the shout system which you could understand because of the potential misuse by spammers

The second is the conversion of a large majority of the outbound links to no follow

I've never used Digg to be honest. But just to make a little comment.
Twitter and Facebook are the new "It" sites in every aspect, knocking many other sites out of the water. Everyone has a Facebook account, and almost everyone has a twitter account. It just makes more sense to people to use what's popular. =)

Really sites like that have it real rough. I mean, even myspace has been pushed out. and that was the big thing forever and they're still trying to bring life back into it. But it just isn't going to happen. Facebook and Twitter have taken over ze world! :(

I agree. There used to be a ton of 'buzz' around Digg, but I don't see it now.
