Reddit cofounder Aaron Swartz discusses how he was fired from Reddit

I'm pretty sure the story of pre-YC reddit is that Steve and Alexis were interviewing by themselves, and almost got rejected, but then came back. Aaron also entered the program separately, trying to found Infogami. He then merged with Reddit in November. WTF, man?

Yes, that's what happened.

Digg Exodus to Reddit? , Not According to Alexa (Any publicity is good publicity)
3 points 1 year ago by spez

Alexa measures page views not users

It measures neither. I don't know what they measure, but none of it is correlated with actual reddit traffic.

Ask reddit: Is there something wrong with the new queue? Of the top 25 new links only 8 were posted within the hour. New links are dropping off the new page much too quickly.
3 points 1 year ago by spez

That happens occasionally, and it's a bug. Basically when a story hits #1, we update it to reflect that it hit #1, and sometimes it breaks for a few moments.

I saw this the other day as well. I'll look into it.

The 'rising' sort is based more-or-less on page-views, and I think traffic fluctuates now more than it used to, causing the new page to swing a little more.

I was just thinking that. Clearly I didn't make things hot enough.

While we were developing Reddit, we always used to run into people who'd recognize us and come up to say hi. "Oh, wow," they'd say to us. "I can't tell you how much your site has killed my productivity. I check it a hundred times every day." At first, we just laughed these comments off.

It's true... we seem to have a thousand projects going on at once. We're still moving though.

As long as it's still on wired, I think we have a leg to stand upon.

Unfortunately, we'll probably hear from lawyers sooner or later requesting that we take down the DVD numbers as well.

This is in response to the MSNBC article submission, "How come the dollar keeps falling?"

Double comment because I got a reddit error on last submission.

What kind of error?

Barack Obama has his own Reddit?
70 points 1 year ago by spez

It's not actually being used. I believe a friend of ours wanted to give a demo of how reddit could be used for different things and asked if we could make the subreddit for him.

There is certainly a bug there. I haven't been able to replicate myself, though, which is why we haven't fixed it.

You shouldn't gain karma from submitting a link. Are you seeing something different?
