Reddit Review
Reddit is another social bookmarking site, similiar to Digg in structure, that allows webmasters to promote their site.
How Reddit works:
If you see a webpage you like, you bookmark it or submit it for others to see. The Reddit site has a search engine that allows you to find popular submitted links. People can vote it up or down. If it’s voted down to a negative, it dissapears from the search engine.
Reddit compared to Digg:
I have to admit I’m not a big fan of Reddit. It doesn’t give anywhere near as much traffic as Digg does. Based on my experience, it is also much harder to stay in their engine compared to Digg, without getting your link voted down quickly. Most of the social networking plugins for Wordpress blogs, include a small reddit submission icon.

I always liked digg more. It’s like the difference between Vimeo and Youtube. It’s all about the community around the product.

I agree that Digg is more viable and also more user friendly. Also, nobody’s heard of the “Reddit Effect” right?

Its getting a little like the search engine wars of old when everyone jumepd on the bandwagon.
There are just so many of these sites now.
I used to have a plugin installed which allowed readers to auto add to ther favourite social bookmarking site which seemed great but after analysing my site it was bleeding the PR away – not good!

Reddit is one of the popular social bookmarking site aside from digg. I use both of them as my bookmarking site.
