More Digg stats
As a follow up to my last entry, Tech stories percentage dropping on Digg", I thought I would do some more digg stats.
First up is the digg stories by number of popular stories rather than percentages:
I also looked at what Technology is made up of. It perhaps not surprising that a lot of the news is about Apple (dark blue) or Linux (light blue), with the generic "Industry News" making up the majority:
and here is the same data by percentage:
I wanted to get some of the data for submissions though it seems I can't get data from the API for that from before the 30th December, last year.

Tech stories percentage dropping on Digg
There was a story on Mashable today about the number of tech stories on Digg dropping, though the method they used was by looking at wayback machine results. However since Digg have all this information available in their API, we can get a much more accurate picture of what has happened. So here is a graph of the percentage of stories in each 'Container'. Each data point is for a full week of stories, so this should cover every story since the 1st of January 2006 until the 3rd of February 2008. (click on the image to view it full size)
