Reddit 101 | The Business Value

Another social bookmarking site, Reddit lets you save and comment on news stories that you or others submit to the site.

  • Reddit will send you more traffic than you may think.
  • It seems that Reddit's users are, on the whole, older and smarter than Digg's. This is not to say that Digg is full of idiots; however, the average comment at Digg seems to be less constructive than those on Reddit. Popularity probably plays a part here, as Digg is dealing with a bigger audience than is Reddit.
  • While Digg's how-to-get-on-the-homepage question is partly answered, the code to success on the Reddit homepage hasn't yet been cracked.
  • There appears to be no bias amongst Reddit users towards technology, current events or anything else. The homepage can contain stories about any subject, as well as cool pictures, science news or anything else.
  • This diversity means that all topics have a chance of being voted up, but your topic is just one amongst many.
