Product Shot 1 The Pros:Quickly shows most popular links of the day. Simple and effective upvoting/downvoting and karma system. Is not Digg.

Erik: #reddit I was a fan of #digg a few years ago, and didn't really understand why reddit existed. I've been visiting the site more frequently lately, and it's amazing how reddit has all but won the battle. I would never have guessed it. Kudos, to the reddit founders for doing what they did in such an efficient way. I think they never raised any funding beyond their 100K seed funding out of Y Combinator. Nov 21, 10
