Something very interesting happened this week in the web world: According to comScore, overtook Digg in the month of April. This feat is impressive on its own, but add to that the fact that the new Yahoo! Buzz social news site achieved the bulk of its traffic growth in just ten months, and you've got a serious phenomenon. I'm not going to get too deep into the why or how without doing more research; but I can say from experience using Digg over the last year that this has been a long time coming.

I'm glad digg is going down! One thing I always disliked was the fact that I had to create another account for digg which I never did. Yahoo will win because lots of bloggers already have a yahoo account and they can buzz their stuff.

Yeah exactly like EI Sanchez says, Yahoo accounts are much more commonplace and easy to access. Why the hassle with so many accounts when you can easily just switch over to Yahoo and use your existing account? It's no suprise that Yahoo has topped Digg.

Yahoo is not a force to be reckoned with! This is just the first signs of what Yahoo can do in the future. If i were Google, i might start to get worried.
