I think this is just fine, if we really need information, we should get it from authority or news sites.

I never thought that Digg is a powerful internet tool for boosting traffic. I’ve been ignoring it for so long now. I never noticed its true function.

Guess it’s time to get acquainted into it.

This means that these days with digg you are a small fish in an even larger ocean – ie it’s harder to to get yourself noticed. If you want to bring traffic to your website you need to get yourself a group of friends…

Yep I would have to agree that many of Digg’s front page news is from major news sites. That’s why I continue reading Digg cause I get all my news in one place.

You need to stop using Comscore for your data, particularly when REAL data is freely available if you bother to look for it.

From Federated Media’s (very outdated) Digg advertising page:
http://www.fede...et/authors/digg

Traffic:
150,000,000 page views per month

Audience:

Business and IT influencers working in technology.

* 94% male
* 88% 18-39
* 64% HHI above $75k
* 52% IT professionals, developers or engineers
* 26% managers or above
* 39% publish their own blog

Yes, Digg left the Federated Media fold last year. But if they were doing 150M pageviews per month last year, then what are they doing this year? That’s probably significantly more than the 15.4M uniques as tech sites tend to do 1:6 unique:pageview ratio based on anecdotal observation (ArsT) using real numbers, not Comscore crap.

So 15.4M * 6 = 92.4M, which is WAY less than last year’s conservative 150M figure.

You also need to update Digg’s funding information as it appears in CrunchBase, as they have have a 3-year, $100M deal with MSFT. That’s quite a bit more than the $11.3M that’s listed, is it not?

Yes, this is naive – but I think that if they are manipulating their algorithm for this purpose then obviously digg no longer reflects the opinions of the community they have built, but rather how much money they can milk from it. — I guess nobody’s perfect… after all, they are a business – but it sure would be a slap in the face.

[...] Tech Crunch reported today that sites like Digg are driving more traffic to traditional news sites rather than blog and UGC news sites. [...]

Good this is better. Link to actual articles written by news reporters, not to a blog that links to a blog that link to a top 10 list.

Nuthin algorithmic about this dynamic. Just media companies evolving and taking advantage of social syndication. I belong to the former and am celebrating the evolution and the revolution.

As a former professional money manager of technology equities, I used Digg a lot to keep a pulse on the everchanging technology space. They dig up stuff that you would never find on mainstream sites.
