“The Wizards of Buzz” is an interesting article by The Wallstreet Journal, covering the top social bookmarking sites (like Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon and Newsvine) and its top submitters, with their photos and highlights.

An example:

CHRISTOPHER THOMAS/”Killfile”
POSTS ON: Newsvine
WHO HE IS: A self-proclaimed “news hound” and the site’s top user
HOW HE DOES IT: He subscribes to dozens of RSS feeds and constantly checks major media sites here and abroad. He submits around noon “to take advantage of the lunch rush hour,” and as a “citizen journalist,” was one of the first to report a story on an August 2006 Virginia shooting.

For those not really familiar with social bookmarking, how it works and the story behind its people, this article gives some nice insight.
