Digg's trouble illustrates how the size of a site's audience isn't as important to the bottom line as their quality. (From a marketeer's point-of-view) Digg, reddit, even Facebook have trouble turning a profit despite receiving a huge number of visitors. It's a very significant change from the size-uber-alles orientation of the traditional media.

- gloob 16y agoRevenue numbers say nothing about profitability.
- gamble 16y agoI didn't say that they weren't profitable. I said they made very little profit considering that they have an enormous audience. A substantial chunk of the planet frequents Facebook, yet people still argue whether they turn a profit. That says something about the value of large audiences.
