Reddit had quite a bit more downtime and lag problems (frequently 12+ hours) than Digg before Digg went to v4.

So while 100 employees for Digg might be overkill, 6 employees is too few.




I don't think you can draw that conclusion. The Reddit guys (IMHO) have made some bad decisions (Using Amazon for a start), but that doesn't necessarily mean there are too few of them.


What should they use instead of EC2?
