Twitter receives heavy Traffic, goes past Digg

Twitter left behind Digg as it saw heavy traffic on its site (in the U.S.). Data released by Hitwise shows that Twitter traffic went haywire as reports came in about the U.S. Airways airplane crashing into the Hudson River.

The news helped Twitter climb the 84th spot in market share last week, as Digg was pushed to the 85th spot. Twitter traffic is also credited to usage from cell phones and social networks.
