Twitter’s growth over time remains a sore spot for investors. From September 2012 to March 2013, it seemed unstoppable, jumping from less than 1 percent growth to nearly 5 percent. But ever since then it has been sliding, with a rate close to 1.5 percent as of January this year.

You would think that a social media upstart would be leading the pack of up-and-comers, but amazingly it’s the 15-year-old Fark.com. Fark is taking an increasing share of overall social share traffic, and is currently at 0.464 percent. BuzzFeed comes in at 0.288 percent, and Google+ comes limping in with a tiny 0.046 percent.

it's not site traffic, that graph is for driving traffic elsewhere. digg and fark are linkdumps, tumblrs are typically short form text or image blogs. it makes sense that they would rank low on this.

tumblr is scientifically designed to keep users from leaving. it's a great plagiarism / ripoff machine and nobody gets any traffic from it.

SA and Fark posters used to be 'internet rivals' back in the day. I don't really remember all the details other than they were all morons.
