Reddit Surpasses Facebook To Become the Third Most Visited Site in the US: Alexa (thenextweb.com)

Posted by msmash on from the mighty-has-fallen dept.

According to Alexa, the Amazon-owned web traffic analyzing platform, more people now visit Reddit than Facebook in the US. From a report: Spotted, of course, on Reddit by user IamATechieNerd, the stats will be a big boost for the social sharing platform, especially with many users still irked about the recent re-design. It's important to note that analyzing web traffic using a tool like Alexa is not an exact science, but it's interesting that it has now put Reddit ahead of Facebook. If the stats are to be believed, Google is still the most visited site, followed by YouTube, Reddit, and Facebook, with Amazon rounding out the top five.

      Facebook is the saliva mark you get on a hardback without the cover on when you pass out while reading.

      Reddit has to be a brand of markers. I'm going to Amazon now to order some.

      Alexa, she's mysterious, and supposedly a massive blabber-mouth who shares your personal conversations with others. I haven't invited her over and don't plan on it.

    Is news like this story a sign that we've reached Peak Internet at some point, and we're on the downhill side of it now?

    Good. That means that in a few years, only nerds will use it, ads will become useless, news will be based on facts and stupid users like me won't post crap anymore.

    Oh wait.
