As we inch closer to the Chatsum Public Beta we’ve been trawling through vast amounts of data trying to get a better understanding of our users. We’ve been looking at the data, both live and archived, from lots of different angles but sometimes the simplest analyses are the best, so here for you today is the Chatsum Users’ Top 20 most visited websites:

There are already a couple of sites there that I’d never visited and this is one of the facets of Chatsum we’ll really be pushing once we’ve gone Public Beta. In many respects it’s not large aggregations like the one above that we’ll be using to suggest sites. Instead we want to harness the Long Tail of our users to take you to sites you’ve never heard of before.
