Digg Is Dead; Long Live Reddit

Digg is just a little too incestuous.  Or is it just that it’s so full of itself?  Not sure, but it’s no fun anymore.  I rarely find anything worth reading anymore when I visit.  And it’s almost worthless to post there.  There’s just so much … shit.

Which brings me to Reddit.  We pulled the Digg button off our pages today and replaced it with Reddit’s.  It’s just better.  We get more traffic from Reddit and it’s much more regular and understandable — unlike Digg.  It’s significantly more traffic — thousands instead of hundreds.

I added a big Reddit button to my blog today too (instead of just relying on AddThis) — check it out below and give it a push.  More on Reddit and Blake Lively and the great viral traffic experiment later in the week.
