Digg Buries Reddit and StumbleUpon in Reader Vote [POLL]
We’ve seen some epic battles in our weekly Web Faceoff series, where we put opposing social media and tech tools into the Colosseum and have them go to war for your vote. Our very first faceoff, Firefox vs. Chrome, had over 8000 votes, while only 31 votes separated Last.fm vs. Pandora.
None of those battles compared to the clash that occurred this week, though. We asked you, the readers, to choose between Digg, Stumbleupon, or Reddit for social media supremacy. But while thought there would be a lot of passionate people for this faceoff, we didn’t expect nearly 30,000 votes, shattering all of our previous records.
So who won this battle for the ages? It was close, and the lead changed several times, but in the end…
…Digg was able to secure the victory. After Reddit took the lead in the beginning, Digg fought back with its massive community and gained 14,762 votes, or 50%. In second place was Reddit, which garnered 11,466 ballots (39%). StumbleUpon was left in the dust with only 2507 votes (8%).
This was, by far, our most popular and heated Web Faceoff yet. We’re going to do it again next week though, so watch out for the next edition. Until then, let us know what you think of this week’s result in the comments.
