Reddit Was Acquired

Tue, 31 Oct 2006 17:33:40 GMT

Did you heard? Reddit was acquired. Congratulations guys, good job. First rumored number ($65M) is more than del.icio.us was bought for. [Update] Liz Gannes on GigaOM tells that guys from Reddig have worked with acquirer company before on very reddit-similar site. I wonder which terms they are agreed to, and wasn't they afraid of things like competition and disclosing the technology.

talkinghub pagerank reached 7: http://livepr.raketforskning.com/?u=talkinghub.com . This is a surprise. This is good surprise for me! How did talkinghub get here? I would I know! I have 2 web projects which are pretty popular.

Both of them are pagerank 5. talkinghub.com is first one with PR 7. talkinghub was produced as a result from "How to Write Software" - I got an idea that it would be interesting to people if I will publish step-by-step story on how to write software from scratch.
