Social media and news sharing were still much less mainstream than they are now, but Digg was THE big link sharing site. I don't have any numbers...wait a sec..thanks wikipedia:
By 2008, Digg's homepage was attracting over 236 million visitors annually, according to a Compete.com survey.[14] Digg had grown large enough that it was thought to affect the traffic of submitted webpages. Some pages experienced a sudden increase of traffic shortly after being submitted; some Digg users refer to this as the "Digg effect".
2010 was when the big exodus from Digg happened and quickly put Reddit on top, where it kept growing to where it is now.
Welcome! I've been over at Reddit for 4 years, so definitely not as long as you. I have seen it change a lot though in 4 years.
Just wondering though, how many users were on Digg when everyone jumped ship?
