I would have done so sooner but I’m a bit behind on my blogging.Very interesting acquisition to say the least…. In these situations there’s often an impedance mismatch since Wired won’t have much technical expertise to contribute to Reddit (vs say Google).

I’ve been noticing a trend between the memediggers such as Digg and Reddit and memetrackers such as Tailrank and Memeorandum.The memediggers occasionally (and often) cause an outbreak in a meme which arose a few months back but that might be popular in a community which hasn’t yet seen it (or developed an intellectual antibody).I just was on Reddit and noticed that they were promoting two stories on their home page.

Tailrank has a new and larger weblog index:If you’ve noticed more traffic on your blog recently it might be because Tailrank is now indexing more weblogs. We’ve deployed a new crawler and this week alone we’ve added 15k new blogs!I can’t believe I just blockquoted and linked to my own blog post.
Paul Graham has an interesting post about Digg potentially censoring Reddit:I know the guys running reddit, and they’re just religious about never killing stories they don’t like…. Every once and a while a neocon like Michelle Malkin will get the top position and it really annoys me that I can’t just kill the story.
