Lifted from a email I sent to my team earlier - subject line 'Reddit grew by 230% in 2010 (wow)'…

According to a post Reddit put up yesterday, their traffic for Jan. '10 was 250 M, and then closed out the year at 829 M in December.

A lot of this had to do with the abysmal manner in which Digg handled the launch of Digg V4. Digg, whose last traffic report was that they did 200 M in July, hasn't really figured anything out yet. So expect Reddit to continue to thrive in the space.

They also highlight some decent philanthropic efforts by Reddit in 2010 ($185 K raised for Haiti; $600 K raised for DonorsChoose).

In 2011, how many social bookmarking sites does the internet believe in?
