Why I should not suicide?
By Ria Sharma

US-based Reddit.com, like Digg, is a site where anyone on the internet can provide content.  And the Reddit community votes to decide what is good and what is garbage.  The more votes a submitted article/link gets, the more chances it will make its way to the front page and consequently international exposure and attention. Reddit is hugely popular in India and Pakistan.

Reddit is part of the powerful Conde Nast publishing group which owns highly regarded technology and business sites like Wired and Ars Technica. 

According to Alexa,  Reddit gets most of its traffic from USA (39.9 %),  India (16.8 %),  United Kingdom (5.2 %) and Pakistan (4.7 %).

In Pakistan, Reddit is ranked 74 among all sites.  In India, it is at No. 138.

"Yes, I just need one legitimate reason," answered Diefex.
