Thanks, but I'm pretty much in the know (I work in this field) and a big reddit fan in spite of being twice the age of Gen Y. What I was looking for was numbers. I know reddit is now a more important source of links than Digg (even though I can't find the data right now) but I was wondering how it plays out with the rest, in particular vs. Twitter. Thanks again for any help :)

Actually everyone I use to know from Digg (the front page makers) are mostly into StumbleUpon rather than Reddit. I also have another friend from my Digg days who built up his Facebook page via ads and that gives his blog quite a few page views. But i don't really see many folks trying to push content on reddit — the front page is off limits so you're stuck with the sub-reddits (which can be good but they can also be a waste of time). I don't have any good numbers on reddit or Twitter because I haven't really pushed stuff there for quite some time (so sorry if this didn't help you much).

  Thanks, but I'm not interested in "pushing" anything, really (I call that spam). I'm just trying to position Twitter where it belongs amongst the "link sharing" websites (yes, you're right, I should also take StumbleUpon into consideration): how big is it really, how over-hyped, how over-valued etc.
