YuviSense: Codin Kid

A few days ago, I published the list of Top 100 sites on Digg.com by the cumulative No. of Diggs. While that is pretty useful, the list of Top 100 sites on Digg.com by the Frontpage Story count would be useful as well, so here they are:

Here are the Top 100 Sites on Digg.com by Frontpage Stories Count:

One thing to note here is that this list is pretty sparse: The 100th Site has only 80 stories on the frontpage, and only 79 sites have more than 100 stories on the frontpage. I made a more detailed analysis of this in my Digg Analysis Part II here.

12 sites were present in the Top 100 Most Dugg sites but absent in this list.

1. digg.com - 53
2. cracked.com - 80
3. doubleviking.com - 81
4. wikimedia.org - 82
5. techdirt.com - 84
6. valleywag.com - 86
7. salon.com - 89
8. jalopnik.com - 92
9. popsci.com - 93
10. deviantart.com - 94
11. photobucket.com - 97
12. somethingawful.com - 99

Digg.com reached the Top 100 Most Dugg sites only because Diggers submitted other Digg stories and got them dugg up high during the AACS Encryption Key quasi-Rebellion. That is why it has been knocked out of this list, since most of those Diggs went to a relatively small number of stories.

The 12 sites which are new in this list are listed below:

1. michellemalkin.com - 69
2. nwfdailynews.com - 71
3. technologyreview.com - 76
4. readwriteweb.com - 78
5. eurekalert.org - 81
6. newsforge.com - 82
7. betanews.com - 83
8. space.com - 86
9. sciencedaily.com - 90
10. independent.co.uk - 93
11. howtoforge.com - 94
12. ibm.com - 95

My Observation? Of the 12 new sites, 10 are Tech/Science related. The bread and butter of Digg is still Tech/Science/General-Nerdery. While sensational stories do get more than average Diggs, they are not that frequent.

Head over to the sidebar for details (Or, just drop in a donation towards buying that computer: I’ll name a part of it after you!)

Thanks to Danny Sullivan of SearchEngineLand for a link (which, strangely, Technorati didn’t pickup at all), and Patrick Altoft of Blogstorm for the original idea.
