Digg/Delicious Traffic Down 40%. Social Bookmarking Fragmentation

At one point this article asks where everyone who used to use Digg has gone, and yet never once mentions reddit.

Even ignoring that, the article is just junk. It says very little, and says it poorly. :(

I agree that it's disappointing that the article didn't mention reddit, but the compete.com data doesn't exactly support the notion of digg users flocking there:

See my other post: reddit, quite some time, had a blog post about how such analytics seemed to be completely detached from the reality of their internal numbers.

Reddit's google analytics (Jan '11) puts their number of uniques >10x higher than compete and their Jun/Jul number is around 8x larger than compete's.

I guess thats what you for looking at a website that pretends a 1% sample is representative of actual Internet usage for anything beyond painting the most board strokes.
