Dropbox on the list at 985. Impressive.

But reddit.com is nowhere to be seen... surprising.

My question is, if reddit were on that list, would the moderation system be able to prevent it turning into Digg? I don't think it could, although maybe the subreddit system could. Places like /r/politics/ are fairly useless for intelligent debate already. Such link sharing sites don't have the same "my friends are there" grounding force that Facebook has, it's just the "vibe" and community so running away to a new site is easily mounted.

They must have filtered porn. There is no way redtube.com is not in the top 100.

They did: " Keep in mind that the list excludes adult sites, ad networks, domains that don't have publicly visible content or don't load properly, and certain Google sites. "

A curious list of restrictions... I wonder what kind of site would be in the top 1000 that didn't have publicly visible content or load properly? Pure Flash sites, maybe?
