The traffic is very low, I don't think the brand is particularly well known, and the technology isn't particularly unique. Actually, perhaps it's the talent, because I'm sure Conde Nast needs some hot talent like Steve and Alexis in there even if they don't need Reddit?

Maybe a lot of sites we like to look at. Your average consumer has never heard of Reddit. $65mm would be a ridiculously high valuation. Plus, what's the barrier to entry? It's very small. Reddit is awesome, so I'm hoping the founders make a good net out of this. The $10-15mm rumor seems more accurate to me. Emre, I think you’re a little off there - “every web site”?
