Twitter’s performance against digg, flickr and delicious

I pitted Twitter against digg, flickr and delicious, in Google Trends for searches, and found that Twitter is way to ahead from the three Web 2.0 pioneers. The Google Trends for searches, for 09 Feb 2009 are as below:

Twitter__________________________17
Flikr____________________________8
Digg ___________________________2
Delicious ________________________2

[What the numbers represent: The numbers taken from the index, are search numbers. But they are not the actual number of searches, as is obvious, but simple numbers relative to some other number. Here the Scale is based on the average worldwide traffic of digg in all years. So right from its beginning if digg is being searched only two times at Google search, then Twitter is searched 17 times, Flikr 8 times, and delicious 2 times.]
