That's a huge increase. I wonder what was the driving factor behind this. “Digg saw a 51% increase in the past year.”

That’s a huge increase. I wonder what was the driving factor behind this.

There is a significant amount of bollywood spam on mixx, so I wonder how much of that 27% is spammers, and how much is real people. Mixx is still my favorite site, and I think it will continue to grow in popularity, but they're going to have to figure out a way to kill the spam problem if they're going to go as mainstream as they hope.

I find them to be more of a customized personal news site. They are growing nicely, with quantcast showing almost 100% growth over the past 3 months. I am curious to see what they do as well since the Xing purchase. Michael,

In your research, did you ever look at socialmedian's numbers? It seems like they're growing at a nice clip. I know they're much smaller than the others, but I'm curious to find out if you found anything. Thanks I like how you went out of your way to make sure this was a fair analysis.
