You named three sites. The top 10 is Google, Facebook, Amazon, Youtube, Yahoo, Wikipedia, Ebay, Craigslist, Twitter, and Reddit. I would call three of those (Craigslist, Wikipedia, and Reddit) "unmanaged," although that's a stretch. That's hardly "more likely" than the 7 "managed" sites.
- Grue3 11y agoLeaving aside the sites that are not communities, you have Youtube (got big because of lenient enforcement of media copyrights), Craigslist (got big because it allowed all kind of stuff, up to and including prostitution), Twitter (people complain about Twitter lack of management on HN weekly, and it never turned profits). The only exception from the rule is Facebook. Zuck's running a tight ship over there and it did beat "unmanaged" Myspace.
- easytiger 11y agoNo one will ever understand why yahoo is in the top 10,000 websites. Brute force SEO and bundling i'd imagine.
