Good lord, what happened in mid 2009?! The reddit.com blue area spikes up for a month. Edit: the original blogpost by Randy Olson says he doesn't know either.

  That was the Digg exodus. I was a Digg user, and I switched around that time. It had started to suck really bad, to where people like myself were willing to give it a fair shot, only to discover that the discussions were generally higher-quality. That's also why I'm here, from a discussion on Reddit for other sites. But I still find that the smaller subs scratch that itch, too.

    You're off by a year. Digg v4 was the end of summer 2010.
