Newspond vs Digg: Who Does it Better?

A new social aggregator, Newspond, has been the talk of the blogosphere lately with some sites giving it glowing reviews and others offering a more moderate response.

Let the comparisons begin… Stats I pulled up the popular "Tech News" section of both Digg and Newspond and the first difference I notice is that each site provides loo...
