In a recent discussion with someone trying to make money on the internet, he told me something really interesting that made me think if it’s true. The guy is almost sure that Digg.com was created mostly for blogs. The next thing I did was to access the site and to get me some statistics.

Really nice. There were 12 blogs featured on the front page of Digg.com, 7 blogs on the 2nd page, 10 blogs on the 3rd page and finally 10 blogs on the 4th page. I considered that 60 headlines would be a pretty good base to start with. So the math says that : out of 60 news, 39 are blogs which means that 65% of the news on Digg.com are usually from blogs.

Blogs are great resource for everyone because of their fresh content, which is why the search engines love them so much. So, going back to my question, were the social bookmarking websites intended for blogs? NO, I don’t think so, but since there are lots and lots of content on blogs, they cannot be neglected.
