I’m still kind of in shock from this news, but apparently, according to comScore numbers Yahoo! Buzz’s traffic numbers were higher than Digg’s for April. Seriously? Kind of hard for me to believe, but I guess unless we hear from Digg and Buzz as to their exact traffic numbers, it’s the best we have to go on.

I’ve been seeing more and more that marketers and regular users on Digg have been saying “it’s impossible to get on to the homepage of Digg” and that “digg is broken“. But this is really surprising news for such a young site. I’m thinking that the marketing team at Yahoo! Buzz should be given several gold stars for pulling off this feat. Either that, or marketers have discovered a way to exploit Buzz for everything it’s worth.

I haven’t checked it out yet, but I definitely will now. Does anyone have any experience with Buzz? Easier to use than Digg? Better information? What’s the reason for someone to jump from Digg to Buzz or vice versa?
