For comparison, reddit has four people (I think).


And about 10% of the traffic. This isn't exactly an apples to apples comparison:

Reddit also has considerable more uptime and speed issues than digg. I like Reddit, but it is slow and recently often experiencing issues.


Reddit is owned by a larger company, which presumably handles all the business stuff.


I really hope Digg doesn't have 68 people working in HR, Legal, and Marketing


No, they're all in the database team.


I knew they went NoSQL, but I wasn't expecting human brains as JBODs.


It is larger than Reddit. I'd guess around 25-30 engineers.


True, but reddit has less traffic, less users, and less features. For example, Digg shows you which of your friends dugg a story, which is far from trivial.

I like reddit better, but the digg guys are also doing some cool stuff.


I may be mistaken, but it seems like Digg is broken far less often. Just yesterday, people couldn't login to Reddit for nearly the whole day.
