on Twitter that he would add some features back. ~ Well, that did him no good. ~ He was promptly ripped by ex-Digg site architect, Joe Stump, who said, " I love you man, but seriously? Upcoming has *never* been a useful feature. What's been done to make it useful?" ~ Rose didn't take the insult too personally. He replied, " agree 100%, this is an identical v3 feature for those that used it - better new story discovery coming.." ~ Stump came back at him more forcefully, saying , " Why launch this at all? You're bending to the will of a few users. Keep the crap off the site until the better version is done." ~ Join the conversation about this story » ~ See Also: ~ The Collapse Of Digg [CHART] Digg users angry about the site's new redesign have filled the top news page with entries from rival Reddit.

Twitter 's traffic skyrocketed 33% over the summer, according to one survey . Meanwhile Digg's influence was fading even before its controversial makeover.

~ Late yesterday Twitter announced that it had 145 million registered users--impressive, at around a third of the number of Facebookers and comparable to the number of people Apple's just opened up its new music-based social network Ping to. ~ But a more meaningful measure of Twitter's growth is how many people are using it, and a new survey has revealed that Twitter's seen nothing less than staggering growth over recent months. In August, Twitter processed some 2.64 billion tweets--that's 85 million per day--up 33% over the figure for May. The August figure is more than double January's figure, of 1.23 billion tweets, in fact. ~ In other words, Twitter's growing at an incredible rate, and its users aren't just blindly signing up and not taking part--they're actively using the system, no doubt leveraging all the new uses it's being put to (like news reading, photo sharing, celebrity access, trend spotting and Web story discovery). That last aspect is the killer one, when you look at the fortunes of another famous (possibly paradigm-defining) Web story discovery network: Digg. As revealed by statistics generated by Gawker's marketing team, Digg has moved from being the dominant traffic driver among its peer services in October 2009 to coming in in fourth place after Facebook, Twitter, and Stumbleupon. The growth of Facebook in the stats is expected, Twitter's growth burst is evident, and Stumbleupon's increasing importance is something of a surprise (possibly biased by the particular sharing tech highlighted on Gawker's sites), but the clear loser is Digg. ~ And then the new Digg arrived, and a comparison with Reddit shows that things may have got even worse in the last week. Even when you discount the amusing/irritating hijacking of New Digg's frontpage by Reddit (thanks to angry Diggers) Reddit's grabbing big chun... ...Less
