It looks like Silicon Valley’s favorite tech gossip rag blog Valleywag is giving the most popular internet start-up news blog TechCrunch a real run for its money. As you can see traffic stats from Compete has Valleywag in a very close place within a difference of only ~10,000 unique visitors per month. What is more impressive however is the surge in Valleywag’s traffic that was experienced in January and overall growth for the year compared to TechCrunch (3415.3% vs. 749.8%). Given the popular stories that Valleywag has covered this month, we will likely see it overtake Techcrunch again but perhaps for good this time. After all, what’s more interesting to readers; multi-million dollar internet and tech start-ups or the dirty gossip behind it all?
