Removing "Digg This!" FeedFlare and Adding StumbleUpon
After being fooled into clicking on this item in my feed reader - the title of which is a complete lie, I'm sick and tired of Digg. Since I'm using the iGoogle gadget, all I saw was the title, which was enough to make me click on the item…
This is just the last straw for me. I'm removing the Digg This! feed flare from the RSS feed, and adding the Stumble It! one. I'd rather get traffic from del.icio.us and Stumble than bother with digg anymore. I seriously doubt anybody used the digg gadget anyway.
Not like we get much traffic from digg anyway… over the last 2 months there's been more traffic from Lifehacker and StumbleUpon than from digg.
Of course, I wouldn't complain about getting on the digg front page again… I'd just really prefer to be featured on slashdot.

I am also a big fan of StumbleUpon. I recently decided to perform an analysis of StumbleUpon vs. Digg traffic and, I have to admit, I was quite surprised by what I discovered.
StumbleUpon beat Digg in several areas including bounce rates and pageviews per visit.
