The Imbalanced State of Digg.com
Filed under:
IGG.COM is a Web sites where more prominent news stories are voted for by a large pool of users. An informal blog post from ZDNet revealed some intersting ‘Digg facts’. It is of great interest to me as I have become a regular member and participants of the Digg community (I am currently ranked 17th).
Diggtrends.com aimed to find out answers to the following questions:
- What is the real contribution of top 100 users?
- Who took Jason’s (Netscape) Offer?
- How did the user statistics changed after July 18th (Jason’s Offer)?
- How many dig users are really contributing?
To the first question, they found:
- top 10 users contributed 1792 of the frontpage stories – i.e 29.8%
- top 100 contributed 3324 stories i.e 55.28%
Nearly 30% of frontpage stories contributed by just 10 people is a pretty amazing stat – talk about the A-List!
Addendum: here comes the more official analysis/announcement
