Technorati vs. Digg

Sorry this post is extremely late. I wasn't in class the day of and was told to write on the two blogs for half credit.

Both Technorati and Digg are blog sites made up of different stories floating around the internet.
The difference between the two however is that the blogs on Digg are popular because of the users rating the blogs while Technorati pulls blogs that have been the most popularly viewed through the different sites.

The topic that I chose to compare was country music.
For Digg the first three blogs were
1.Hank Williams wins Posthumos Pulitzer Prize. 310 Diggs
2.File Shareres Save until Muisc Biz changes laws 566 Diggs
3.Crazy County Fair Food: The Pork Parfait. 310Diggs

Technoratie
1.The Boot (Taylor Swift Flys to Auburn for Hugs) 729 Down
2.TwnetyFour Bit (Mark Ronson Produced Album) 661 up
3.Aquarium Drunkard (Music Blog) 865 Down

I think after checking both sites out it was definitely easier to follow Digg then it was Technorati.
I wasn't sure how users really rated technorati. There were a lot of hits on the first and third blog but they were red, and arrows down. But then the second blog had the least hits (out of the three) but had a green arrow.

Then as far as the content was concerneced, honestly on both sites for all three blogs I didn't really find the content useful. I didn't really care about the content so I wasn't intersted in what was being discussed.
