Reddit and Digg spawned around the same time. I'm sure Digg had a little impact but I think they were being developed around the same time.

- bmelton 15y agoDigg launched like 6 months before Reddit did. I don't know the Reddit history that well, but as I read recently in a PG essay, it was originally slated to be a food ordering application on your phone. I do not know when they pivoted, or when their idea to pivot came, but I _suspect_ that their pivot was at least partly inspired by Digg's early release.
- beedogs 15y agometafilter predates both Digg and reddit by 5 years, and was enjoyable for quite a while longer than either of them. I don't think it's fair to credit either of those sites with social bookmarking.
