Is Digg Spy Broken?

Digg Spy is the real time tracker that shows what is happening on the social network Digg as it happens. The tool is a great way to follow Digg in a different way than the normal view.

We at Ajaxonomy.com have written a tool called the Digg Bury Recorder that uses a feed from Digg Spy to capture all of the buries of stories that are recorded by Digg Spy. Recently it was brought to my attention that the Digg Bury Recorder does not seem to be recorder new buries. In looking into the issue I found that the feed is not returning any data.

Thinking that perhaps Digg changed the feed (they have done this before) I went over to Digg Spy to check if the feed that is being used and the feed that we are using is correct. However, after leaving Digg Spy up for a moment I quickly realized that the Ajax portion of Digg Spy does not appear to be working (go to the page and it will look like it is working, but once it gets past the pre-loaded information it no longer works).

Without the Ajax portion of Digg Spy the application is useless and I wonder if I wonder if Digg knows of the problem or if they purposely broke the application (perhaps in an attempt to stop applications like the Digg Bury Recorder, although this doesn't really make sense).
