This is a trivial story. Interestingly, they did not look at Newstrust, nor at Savethis. This study of folks who use the sites to organize what they've read becomes in the minds of the researchers a study of news consumption. I don't think so.

Insightful study on how social news sites like Digg or del.icio.us differ from mainstream news sites. Good research and analysis on an important topic. I'm delighted to hear that PEJ plans to conduct more research in this field.

Too much, and not enough. this is almost too much of statistics, not enough analysis. nevertheless it points out that it's difficult to sort out what it all means; whether or not the non-mainstream news users also read mainstream and then want need to read the more esoteric, or concentrated areas of information, for example. If not, the differences in subjects and in fast story turn-over would be of concern about our future culture.

Fascination information. I wish we had access to the raw data. Single viewpoint, but this story is almost all survey information and not much opinion.

a look at journalism without straining a shoulder while patting themselves on the back. why is it that journalists and entertainers are constantly giving themselves awards? is it because they are not quite sure of their worth on this earth?
