The only traffic source which dropped was StumbleUpon, so really the site is still growing nicely in channels like search and direct traffic. Although I don’t have any goals for the size of the community here, I still think it is an interesting metric to monitor. You could say that we prefer signal over noise.

Google is undoubtedly huge and they could simply shrug their members off like Digg does to its much smaller userbase, but instead they engage the community and that’s why Google is such a positive brand. You refer to the ones most effected as the savviest of Digg users. It’s their community of choice and that’s fine.

After using both Plurk and Twitter pretty heavily, I’ve come to the conclusion that Plurk is best at its features for community-building, whereas Twitter succeeds more with its interface that bolsters information-sharing. In the article I linked to, it says that Plurk was discovered by Inquisitr , which is why I referred to it.
