Netscape vs. Digg, the numbers

Ever wonder how Netscape's social news site stacks up to the reigning king Digg? Neither have we. However, an industrious young Netscape user decided to lay the numbers out for all to see and peruse.

The results are less than surprising. Although Netscape has done somewhat well for itself since it's launch this time last year, it still lags far behind Digg in raw traffic numbers.

However, if you "digg" a little deeper, some interesting trends appear. Netscape's users view more pages per visit than Digg's, and spend more time on the site as well. From an advertising perspective, this is pure gold.

The social news wars are far from over, although they have settled down a bit from the peak. Will Netscape hang on long enough to really cash in? Only time will tell.
