Telegraph.co.uk top of Digg league

The Daily Telegraph has more stories submitted to Digg, the social news website, than any other daily newspaper site.

Times Online may be winning at StumbleUpon, but the Telegraph has:

  • had more stories submitted to Digg,
  • more stories on the front pages of Digg,
  • and its most-Digged story has more Diggs than any other newspaper site’s top story.

The graph shows how many pages have been submitted for each site that made the Digg ‘front pages’ (ie proved sufficiently popular).

It’s based on an analysis of newspaper site pages submitted to Digg (which also suggests that the reason for the success of the Telegraph and Mail is that their users are more likely to Digg than those of other newspaper sites).

    I’m guessing the Telegraph’s lead is partly to do with the integration of Digg into the Telegraph online system – users can Digg stories within the Telegraph site which I guess spills over into Digg proper…

    Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
    The text in your content seem to be running off the screen
    in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let
    you know. The design and style look great though!
    Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Many thanks

    Hello there! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!
