Digg and Techmeme are dead. Long live the Tweetmeme!
The figure below shows why, in an era of Twitter Digg begins to lose interest to bloggers. The yield on the first page of Digg - it's cool, but just as hard (maybe even harder), as it was three years ago. Get retweet your message on the orders easier. In addition, a Digg does not give you any traffic. 10 Digg? There is no traffic. 100 Digg? Is that under Upcoming.
A retweet is always accompanied by traffic. I just checked the last 10 visitors to Twitter. They had a total audience of followers in 8116, an average of 800 followers per user. One retweet potentially be apprehended those 800 followers.
In reality, the exhaust from the retweet is much smaller, of course. I guess that retweet receives an average of 5% of the clicks. The link posted for 1000 followers, generates 50 visitors. On average across the country. Many of our posts here retweet 50 or 100 times. Think for yourself.
Now let's look at the chart above. This graph is built for blogging, but not applicable to the retweets. Blogs must be original. It makes no sense to write about the same twice. Retweets are quite different. For the same purpose retweets work just on repetition.
Thus, the double interest for us bloggers than Digg. Digg is a game with zero gain. You either go in the top or not. A retweet is always good for traffic and will never make you bored.
The same applies to . Step forward in the difficult Techmeme. Your news must be unique, the first and interesting. I was always disappointed when the were published on Techmeme (we do this about once a week), because even though people think it is a big deal, I have not seen any traffic from Techmeme.
Tweetmeme is a different beast. Get off at the front page Tweetmeme, and you will see the traffic! A lot of traffic! This explains the recent surge in traffic on TweetMeme:
It is amazing that Digg does not / can not / do not want to take the functionality TweetMeme like TechMeme. Similarly, as Digg has shifted from the throne, Slashdot, in turn, is going to move the TweetMeme Digg.
Of course, this does not mean that we do not want to be on the front page of Digg! If you definitely want to Dignut this site, we do not stop you. Just do not forget to also retweet it ;-)
I will add on my own 5 cents: Tweetmeme declared indexing tweets in real time was officially denied by my modest experiment, which was the result of the demolition button Retweetme at all. Why not? - But:
Two days neproindeksirovanny retweet, done by the vaunted button, says only that not all the retweets are equally good. So - nafig.
A very high quality concrete foam blocks . Perfect geometry and excellent performance.
