The issue with Quantcast (which I think holds great promise) is that they are doing half-half. Half real counts and half "semi-real" counts. If Quantcast ONLY focused on those using their code for tracking, it would do better. I had the tracking on CN but removed it recently because it's not a fair comparison of CN vs. x site if I use it and they don't.

Allen – With all due respect (and nobody’s paying me to say this :), I think it’s safe to say that neither Compete (which has been improving!) or Alexa are truly representative of traffic. I rarely if ever use Alexa anymore with clients. Quantcast may give them a serious run. In any event, it would be more interesting to see them make their stats public if this is, in fact, the case.

Propeller should look to form a partnership with a major print news organization, something similar to the Digg/Wall Street Journal arrangement. Organizations such as USA Todays owner Gannett would likely welcome the ability to open their content up to Propeller’s audience, and Propeller would gain a locked-in audience. And if not Gannett, there are others who would welcome this opportunity.

I recently left Digg and started to use Propeller and while I’m not fond of the layout(it needs to be updated), it is a great site, and I’m not sure why it’s not more popular. When it comes to community they are way ahead. It’s in the comment sections that Propeller stands out best, It’s not just about the votes
