An open letter to Kevin Rose from Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian

Digg still crushes reddit in traffic. I'm not saying traffic is an indicator of profitablity, but it's apparent they are either marketing it better, or more people prefer it. Either way, it's tough to argue "with the people" based on the author's indication of importance.

This may have to do with the fact that Kevin Rose was a mini-celebrity in the tech world when Digg was launched.

But what about PG ?

(for the record, reddit is my #1 site)

Maybe in traffic, but the same number of people google for the two sites, and the trend line is not in diggs favor:

I wonder how much of their lead in traffic has to do with better SEO on Digg submissions. I see Digg submissions come up all the time in Google searches. I hardly ever see Reddit submissions.
