I'm probably bias as I really dislike the whole "social media" thing going on with the internet right now (the sort of crap mashable covers) but I see this as proof that "social media" is a fad and that real communities which have been around since the dawn of the internet are where the real growth and stability is. Reddit is a community, always has been, it took time to grow but it has grown and is now flourishing, Digg is a social media site, where the focus is not on discussion or sharing cool things, it's about driving page views to other sites, the discussion and sharing links became a side part of it.
