The Love Child of Digg & Twitter
September 18, 2008Mix the micro-blogging joy addiction of Twitter with the competitive ranking of Digg and you get their illegitimate love child, Dwigger.com.
This love child comes along at an opportune time. Digg is banning their members left and right for using scripts. And Twitter users love to flock to the latest Twitter killer every week looking for new features and less down time. And while Twitter always survives, Dwigger is no Twitter killer. It is more of an add on, augmenting what makes Twitter does well already. Dwigger takes the rating system of Digg and integrates directly with Twitter messages.
How much traffic can a top post on Dwigger get your site ? Well considering they launched this week and are just gearing up, do not expect much. I have gotten two top posts so far and have seen a mild number of hits from them. But one thing I did notice is a higher percentage of comments from this group, a definite plus. It’s a cool concept and worth playing around with while it evolves. I imagine it has some nice growth in it over the coming weeks. Keep an eye out.
