Graydon,

not sure what you mean by the difference. but essentially that is what they told us, so we are going on their word. basically the numbers in the whole web space, kinda confusing.

Why the differences in unique visitors from TC to Giga? The numbers aren’t reported in the exact same units… but the math didn’t match up.

Am I missing something… or can no one really nail down that type of data?

I don’t know for sure, but Google reader says that this story appeared in GigaOm India section. May be a problem with feedburner or google reader. Let me know if you want me to mail you the screenshot.

Hi Anil,

Fark takes user submissions too, but it is an edited site. They do have the option of paying $5/month to get all the submitted stories. I don’t know the number of unique visitors but a Business 2.0 story said they had 40 million page views per month. Alexa seems to think they are about the level of Reddit.

Liz,

Have you heard of fark.com? I am relatively new to GigaOM and therefore not aware if you'd already covered it before. Reddit/Digg, etc. seem to be a lot like Fark (or perhaps the other way round), although the latter lacks any rating or "learning" system. It would be interesting to know how Fark compares to the Reddit/Digg, in terms of popularity.
