I'm quite a big fan of Digg. It's literally the last thing I check on my iPhone before I go to bed, and amongst the first things I check when I wake up (along with Techmeme, Tweetmeme, the BBC and Sky).
Last week I finally played with Digg 4.0 Alpha, and they have put some effort into redesigning the interface so that its much more about link / news sharing amongst your network. Basically it's what Twitter has been great at for years, only with Digg you will be able to out all the status updates and over-sharing that go along with Twitter, and frankly, make the social network unbearable at times. I'm hoping other will start using Digg (add me) because sadly at the moment, there are very few individuals from my 'Twitter network' using Digg.
But I digress. This post was prompted by the infographic below which comes from RateRush pitting Digg against Reddit. In an email to TechCrunch, they describe how it was put together:
We’ve spent the past two weeks recording every popular story to appear on Digg and Reddit (24 hours a day), and we’ve now compiled our results into an infographic that shows a pretty interesting comparison of the two sites.
As Robin Wauters puts it, "I'll let the actual infographic do the rest of the talking."
