New Hitwise statistics create an interesting comparison between Digg and Yahoo Buzz. Depending on which side of the "blogs and personal websites" and "news and media" divide a site stands, it seems the second entity is either almost worthless or nearly as valuable as the first.
Heather Hopkins discovered, "Digg.com last week accounted for only 10% more traffic than Yahoo! Buzz to News and Media websites. To put this in context, Last week, Digg.com received a 75% larger share of US Internet visits."It seems that certain types of people have pretty much fallen in love with Yahoo Buzz, then. Since the social media site only launched last month, and its parent company is used to coming in second (at best) after spending much greater amounts of time and money on products, this seems like a huge achievement.
Given the rate of Yahoo Buzz's climb, we wouldn't be surprised if a proper victory took place within the next month or two.
