Is the digg party over? Look at this alexa graph

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/t...&h=400&w=700&range=3y&size=Large&url=digg.com

They have been steadily going downhill since the removal of the top users list. You think they will keep going down till there is nothing left? Personally I would love to see them crash and burn. I check their alexa once a week to see how much further it has dropped. They shouldn't have taken our list away

 

Why do you hate digg so much? I have been a user for one year and I notice that the average amount of diggs is definitely increasing. The highest dugg article will barely touch 1500. Now they go up to 5000.

 

That's like saying digitalpoint's party is over. Note how it coincides the drop on all the major sites. Even google.com

(do comparison of digg.com and type in digitalpoint.com for a second domain)

 

Alexa.com does not show the website's traffic details. It shows their toolbar search details.

 

I don't really trust Alexa's rankings.

 

look at digitalpoint and sitepoint... they are all going down the same rate! at the same time!

 

Well I dont know much about alexa but it just makes sense. Have you heard the term "diminishing returns" normally this is an econ term but you can apply it here. Any website can greatly increase traffic at a high rate yet there will be a point the traffic starts to slow down in the process of increasing. Which means the site is probably getting more and more traffic yet its just not increasing as much as before... I hope im making sense.. haha

 

Because they took the top users list away. I worked my ass off getting ranked high on that list(in the 50's) and spent a ton of hours doing it. I hate digg with a passion. I recently gave my account away to a friend so he could use it to promote his sites.

 

I guess I can understand your point of view but thats life... shiet happens...

 

The list was not guaranteed by any TOS to stay there forever.
You should have understood ....
