Wow Facebook really is a great place to find great information.

I found information about loans and getting a government grant that was very helpful because I am trying to get out of debt and they had great debt relief options for me.

Digg may be standing on its highest pedestal today, but of late I read somewhere that Digg is looking for a buyer with cash on hand worth $300 Million. It appears that Digg is not earning much revenues from the site.

Forget Facebook. The new threat for MySpace is YUWIE.. you get paid when people view your profile. Clever idea, giving advertising revenue back to the user. You also get paid for the profile views of people you refer. Check it out here.

Compete has some serious sample bias issues. Check compete’s numbers versus HitWise, Nielsen NetRatings, and ComScore and you’ll see that Digg attracts roughly 1/5 of Facebook’s traffic.

Here Digg Scres the least in Avg Stays at 1.47 Mins. Looks like a bad metric at first glance, but this is what will beat all the others in a game where revenue is genereted by mostly PPC. In the PPC game, the sooner someone clicks away, the better. Lesser load on the Infrastructure, better CTRs.

One more thing, where Facebook/youtube/myspace visitors are direct URL type-ins, Digg today ranks well in Search Engines for many phrases, even better the original dugged pages in many a case. SE referrers have always been Ad-click happy..

It’s one thing to talk about acquisitions - but what the investors really need is a revenue generation model. So far as I’m aware, sites like Digg are not turning a profit, and the revenue generation potential remains very limited at present. So what’s the carrot for acquisition? Simply traffic? There needs to be a better motivation than that, IMO.

Where are these certain metrics, and where are you prompted?

Of course, I think that’s the a good thing…the more people with the toolbar, the more accurate the results.

Jay, this is interesting … as you know, we thrive on diversity and would be happy to add Compete to our other ranking stats at InstantBull.com. Great meeting you this week … drop me a line as soon as you’re ready with sub-domain support, we’ve had users request that we add support for your ranking stats too …

I am skeptical as well. Compete routinely under counts my site compared to quantcast, comscore etc… and my own internal (google) analytics. Both quantcast and google have pixels on my site and have similar numbers.
Either they are all wrong or maybe it is Complete. Interestingly qunatcast has facebook at the same 20MM, but only 6.9MM (more believable) for Digg.

It may be that Compete is hard at work wooing the Web 2.0 audience and therefore has better tool bar traction with Digg’s users. I’ll be most Facebook users have not even heard of compete.

Finally, it is interesting to note that am prompted to download compete’s tool bar if I want to have access to certain metrics that compete has.

Wow that’s insane. I would think facebook would be worth more though really.

i find this to be rather peculiar. I believe I associate with a rather representative segment of the population and while almost every person that I know that is 18-25 has heard of facebook and youtube, I’m one of the few people I know who have heard of digg. Are you counting hits from widgets on other people’s sites?
