The commercial value would seem to correlate rather well with other values. Sure, there are some subreddits that are well-moderated, and where some genuinely creative stuff happens. But when weighted by the number of users and comments, most of reddit is just the lowest common denominator of entertainment. In contrast, Twitter can at least claim that it is the place where news increasingly happens. And whatever the reason, I find a politician’s twitter stream far better than any ama (which really are rather terrible, for the most part). Similarly, many professional communities seem to congregate on Twitter far more than on reddit. Facebook obviously owns the real-world-relationship angle, which puts them above the others.
