Reddit Surpasses Facebook To Become the Third Most Visited Site in the US: Alexa (thenextweb.com)
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.
Try finding sub-reddits for topics you care about. They generally have much better content and commentary than the default or most popular subs.

Not needing an account to read the content is an excellent start. That used to be a no brainer... until FB came along.
If construction was anything like programming, an incorrectly fitted lock would bring down the entire building...
Wheres the mod points when I need em. I came here to say exactly just this! Alexa additionally only monitors those that have it installed, which would be more of a Reddit crowd and less of a Facebook crowd anyways too!
As a daily user of both Reddit and Slashdot for many long years I can easily say that Reddit has the far superior layout which is far easier to read and interact with of the two. Also, Slashdot denizens are much much closer to 4chan dwellers than anyone here wants to admit to. So my question to you is this. If you found Reddit so distasteful, then why do you hang around here?
