Twitter just passed digg in traffic, at least according to hitwise

What is TechCrunch is smoking?

http://siteanalytics.compete.com/twitter.com+digg.com/?metri...

quantcast directly measures digg at 11.7M us, 23.7M global

quantcast estimates twitter at 2.7M us.

Summary from Techcrunch: "I don’t buy the Hitwise numbers. Do you?"

why did the techcrunch author even bother to post this?
