StumbleUpon vs Digg
StumbleUpon vs Digg
Recently, Digg.com released the DiggBar. Ready to see what great new things Digg has dreamed up, I quickly jumped on this. There are some cool features, but it all boils down to being a “borrowed” design from StumbleUpon’s toolbar. The cool thing about the DiggBar is the ability to use the bar without actually installing anything.
I am a pretty big fan of Digg. I have even been to a live filming of the Diggnation Podcast. It was a great experience, but it taught me a lot about the Digg community; You only get noticed if you are popular (yikes, it’s high school all over again). I have seen many great stories go unnoticed because the Digg submitter was not a popular person to follow. If someone like Kevin Rose submits a story, it’s Dugg like crazy just because he is Kevin. I have nothing against Kevin Rose. In fact, I admire some of the things he has done. It’s just the best example I could think of for a “blind fan rush” of Diggs.
I have used StumbleUpon many times in the past and had very positive results. The nice thing about StumbleUpon is that it gives you a truely random site and takes away most of the popularity contest. If you are a new website or blog looking for some attention, I would recommend StumbleUpon.
Maybe the DiggBar is more random than I thought. What better way to test it than a duel!
HERE ARE THE RULES:
- Submit this post to StumbleUpon and Digg
- Try to make the submissions to each as identical as possible
- Measure the traffic that is generated from both sites
- Post the results to this site April 21st, 2009
I have also posted a poll to see how many people actually vote for their favorites.
Good luck to both of you!
I don’t know what will be more embarrassing: The site crashes due to the heavy traffic or I only get about 3 hits from each.
