del.icio.us vs Digg

After playing around on both sites, I see delicious as a bookmarking and sharing site. Easy to use for both, I am not sure I would use Digg for bookmarking. I do like the Tag and Bookmark icon delicious enables on the tool bar, making it really convenient to bookmark sites to an account. The delicious interface is easy to use, networking is easy, and tag rolls are easy to establish. Without the tool bar icon from Digg, the user has to be logged into Digg and use its search engine to find sites. The user does not have to be logged onto delicious to tag sites found while on Google or other search engines. Is Digg hoping its users will switch to their search engine? Overall, I felt more comfortable using delicious as a bookmarking and sharing site. The periods in the name do drive me crazy though ! One other comment on Digg--I found myself using the 'Dugg' numbers to judge popularity, and therefore relevance. This was not so. Many sites with high numbers were truly junk.
