videoSift better then Digg
We already knew that because we are all here.
As a blogger I have no choice but to be a stat whore, but I like to get waist deep in my stats. While checking out the stats for the Simpsons vs Fox clip on youtube I noticed that a majority of the views came from Videosift, This is even after it made the front page of Digg.com
Videosift - 1268 Views
Newsbloggers - 604 Views (thats my blog)
Digg.com - 603 Views
The interesting thing is that the video got over 800 "diggs" and only 600 views (sheep voters?), on the sift it got over a 1000 views and only 85 "diggs" - Boy does the sift have a lot of lurkers or what.
Anyway, that is my statistical analysis of the day.

Yay for us! Thanks for the interesting stats Fedquip.
joedirtfed, I had a few sift talks detailing these same observations. One thing I think is occurring is that watching a video from an embed only increments the "views". I believe the top 5 sites are actual HTTP referrer traffic from people clicking on the YT video and going to the YT site.
VS has many people that do that for some reason. YOu can also google for site:youtube.com and some other google magic to see how many videos have videosift.com in the Top 5. It's fun.
karaidlCool, I just did that and 13,700 vids showed up.
theo47That was me who submitted it to digg;
I could've linked it here instead of to YouTube, but an aggregator to an aggregator seemed kinda incestuous.
