It's a fun exercise, but we all know how reliable Compete is for quantitative traffic comparisons. For example, Compete currently claims Reddit (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/reddit.com/ http://siteanalytics.compete.com/reddit.com/) has less traffic than Digg (http://siteanalytics.compete.com/digg.com/ http://siteanalytics.compete.com/digg.com/).
I sincerely doubt Digg surpassed Facebook's traffic at any point in the company's lifetime.
- jedberg 14y agoCompete just makes numbers up. Those uniques are so far off for reddit it isn't even funny.
- crash013 14y agoWhy did you let the reddit community turn to shit?
- oconnor0 14y agoThat's a very strong claim. What evidence do you have for it?
- waterside81 14y agoHe used to work there. He knew the real traffic numbers.
- azylman 14y agoProbably that whole "being one of the original members of the Reddit team" thing. But, you know, I could be wrong.
- oconnor0 14y agoAh, yes, thanks, that isn't obvious. No need to be snotty about it.
- Pewpewarrows 14y agoHis HN profile immediately talks about running Reddit's servers. And he's using the same recognizable username. I don't know how more obvious it could have been.
- criveros 14y agoWhy would you check someone's profile?
- nicholassmith 14y agoBecause in general when someone says something similar you background check their profile to see if they're for real or a crazy.
