Series, a small New York-based start-up, thinks it has a shot at winning a profitable share of the market. The business, only launched last year, is today revealing it has now signed up 10,000 daily active users who have collectively exchanged more than a million messages so far. Series is the brainchild of two Yale University students, Nathaneo Johnson and Sean Hargrow, who saw an opportunity to do something different in the social networking space.
Reddit's executive Winter Raymond emphasized that the platform has never viewed itself as a traditional social networking service, stating, 'Users come to Reddit to find their community, not to engage in social networking.'
