I think all three of the above examples (Facebook, Reddit, Facebook) are examples of first mover advantage, not any specific technical feature.

- nostrademons 19y agoNone of the examples above were actually first-movers, though. YouTube was beaten to market by Google Video and a whole bunch of Web 1.0 video-sharing sites that nobody's ever heard of. Reddit was beaten by Digg, del.icio.us, and various others. FaceBook was beaten by Friendster, MySpace, Orkut, and lots of other social-networking sites. FictionAlley was beaten to market by Fanfiction.net and lots of boutique archives.
