Reddit!

EileenSmith says:

Reddit, of course. Digg's redesign killed any sort of "competition" the two sites had, considering its severe loss of traffic. The Hivemind is far more entertaining, compassionate, generous, fanatical, etc. Though, to be fair, I did start out with Digg -- I just came to my senses after a friend's pushing.

MikLint says:

I often find the comments on Reddit hilarious. It's the kind of nerdy humor I like. Digg just doesn't do it for me.

Reddit is better. Digg is a little out of hand. Go to http://www.celebufight.com to vote on which mascot is better!

I enjoy reddit, and I just don't "get" digg. Weird, I know.

jdcr says:

Reddit is just less complicated. More fun. You don't have to wait for something to load when you submit a link it is pretty fast. Digg has to digg through a submission then you have to select all kinds of info. Too much trouble. Plus I am a fan of the alien mascot :-)

poddys says:

I haven't used Reddit, but I do agree about Digg being rather boring, and I really haven't had much traffic from it. Makes me want to give Reddit a try.

kiwisoutback says:

This is where you have your say, and I say Reddit. Reddit has driven traffic to things I've posted, it's a lot more fun, user friendly, and you don't have to enter a description, which I love. I'm entertained on Reddit, while on Digg, I'm not. What do you think?

Digg is superior because...

Why Use Reddit?

Digg has triple or so the traffic of Reddit, but the main reason many people prefer Reddit is the control factor. Digg seems to be controlled by a select few, while on Reddit, anyone and everyone can push something to the front page.

    You definitely need an update to show Digg's decline in traffic over the last year or so. Comparing the two sites on Google Analytics or Alexa is hilarious. Anyway, just a thought. I love lenses full of polls, haha. Thanks for the entertainment.

    I was checking general opinions on Digg vs Reddit and ended up on your lens. Apart from the fact that it's very hard to vote up your content on Digg, which social media site do you prefer yourself?

    Nice lens, and I hope to see some good arguments on here. 5***** I haven't used Reddit, but I do agree about Digg being rather boring, and I really haven't had much traffic from it. Makes me want to give Reddit a try.
