I have tried to have a psychological comparison of the users at digg and those at reddit. These comparison are based on the stories submitted and comments by the users.



At first have a look at the level of Reddit users. Many among the Reddit users are school kids





On the contrary, digg has most of its users as office workers or mature bloggers. Similarly, each has its own way of expressing differnce of opinion.





Finally, the thought process is entirely different. Have a look at the comments by reddit users and those by digg users.



I had always liked Digg because of its interface and the quality of news stories and because of the fact that i got my first two or three submissions popular. While reddit on the other hand was not a successful thing for me as i never even got more than one point on my submissions. Generally speaking, the news at reddit were more raw and simple. The voting system at reddit is simply the simplest, you cannot get it more simpler. On the contrary, digg is slightly more biased and spammed.



If you disagree then have the luxury to comment. You may also read my discussion about the reddit bug.
