According to the Digg blog, they’ve finally registered their 1 Millionth user. Not everyone was quick to raise a glass, however; Om Malik writes,

“Only a million! Given how much influence Digg has on the whole media space…I had thought the number of Digg users would be much higher. Much much higher, justifying close to $11.5 million in venture investment.

“Now I love digg like any other geek, but one has to wonder how many of these “one million” users are duplicates or fake accounts.”

Mike Arrington at TechCrunch admits that at least 10 of those million user accounts belong to him.
