For comparison, reddit has four people (I think).
3 comments

And about 10% of the traffic. This isn't exactly an apples to apples comparison:

Reddit also has considerable more uptime and speed issues than digg. I like Reddit, but it is slow and recently often experiencing issues.
True, but reddit has less traffic, less users, and less features. For example, Digg shows you which of your friends dugg a story, which is far from trivial.

I like reddit better, but the digg guys are also doing some cool stuff.

I may be mistaken, but it seems like Digg is broken far less often. Just yesterday, people couldn't login to Reddit for nearly the whole day.
Reddit is owned by a larger company, which presumably handles all the business stuff.
I really hope Digg doesn't have 68 people working in HR, Legal, and Marketing
No, they're all in the database team.
I knew they went NoSQL, but I wasn't expecting human brains as JBODs.
It is larger than Reddit. I'd guess around 25-30 engineers.
