Hanging out on reddit it’s easy to get the impression it is the center of the internet meme universe. That’s why I liked this comparison, pitting big sites against each other, starting with reddit and ending up at the all-mighty Facebook.

It used to be that sites listed in posts on Slashdot would go down because of the excessive traffic that would generate, but actually reddit passed Slashdot some time in 2008, at least in terms of search results (Alexa traffic comparison).

Just as an aside, I saw this graph a while ago and in trying to find it again I saw that Techcrunch had copied the same comparison for a post, even down to the very similar title. Not cool. Kudos to reddit user kouni for a fun comparison.
