Scribd has made something that people want

I've seen at least 2 Scribd-hosted docs earning popularity on Digg over the past 3 days. Crazy because Scribd went live not too long ago and I distinctly remember a lot of people questioning its use case.


Try comparing its traffic with reddit on alexa.

This seems more likely to be the reality. Alexa is pretty broken.


Yes, it is. Reddit sure has a nice, strong looking curve.


I think it helps to note that Reddit didn't launch a few weeks ago.


I wasn't implying anything about Scribd's growth. Just commenting on the obvious, continued growth of Reddit.
