In some niches (namely technology, news, and entertainment — although there are others), Digg is still a top player in the social media world. Getting your story or blog post on Digg’s front page can equal a boatload of traffic. And despite the fact that many have said they have a hard time converting this kind of Digg-rush into much else (ad revenue or regular readers for example), site owners still do everything they can to claw their way to that front page status.
If your site or company wants to get to the front page of Digg you know you have to create content that others want to share. But what kind of content should that be? We had the below infographic put together to help you out. We’ll take a look at Digg trends from the last month (June 15, 2010 – July 15, 2010), showing you Digg’s most popular topics, most-Dugg sites and what the power users are sharing.

The Telegraph is a strange one to see. It’s not even the UK’s biggest newspaper.
All it means is that either they’re better at creating linkbait-worthy headlines that people naturally want to share, or it happens to be a top source for folks in Digg’s specific market, even if not for the general public.
JayBol has a rather large Mint.com number of submissions, anyone else think there could be some foul play here?
It just shows that the big well known media outlets aren’t always first with a story or creating “digg” worthy content.
I am surprised how low NY Times is, but overall nice infographic! Also just a suggestion, why don’t you use small caps in your website so instead of SocialImplications (with a slightly shorter I) , just do socialimplications its less confusing to people. All the best
