While setting up this blog I spotted a plugin that worked in with the compete.com site (which I hadn’t heard of) so I wandered on over to their site to see what it was all about. It allows you to compare a bunch of websites and see how traffic compares for each. Out of curiosity I thought I would compare ceruleanstudios.com, miranda-im.org and digsby.com. I was quite surprised with the results as can be seen below:

My main surprise was at how low Miranda was (expected much higher), although it did mention it only had limited information about their site (is that because it’s on a .org domain??).

It’s interesting to see the spike that Digsby has created. As things go, Digsby is the most polished competitor out there to Trillian with it being pretty much a “out of the box” app without the need to install a heap of plugins to get normal functionality (yes, we’re looking at you Miranda!).
