I just hooked up Reddit, Digg and Delicious to my website. Let's see how well it works for me.
Nevertheless, congrats!
On your AdSense point, I'd argue that your positioning isn't as great as it could be, and you really need to try out different configurations and see how they return (eCPM-wise) and then use the best one. I did this over the course of a few months and it has paid mega dividends (with an established blog, though, not the new one).

One reason why you didn't get too much revenue out of AdSense could be that your site isnt optimised for AdSense (the top ad block is WAY too small, and the rectangle at the bottom is no good for CTR). It's true that the Digg/Reddit crowd doesn't really click on ads, but even then, your adsense could use some tweaking...
Of course, you can dispute / confirm that by watching your feed stats in the next week or so...
Will you put up another post, now that you have also made it to the top on Performancing - (permalink).
Good post, good observations. :)

Shri.
PS: Err, TechCrunch has 75000 users. Don't worry, you are getting there :)
I too started a little blog about 2 months ago, and got "I like'd it" at Stumble Upon which is actually just serving up random cool pages to users. I got more than 4,000 visitors in 48 hours. Not nearly as good quality traffic as Reddit, but it did introduce people to my site, if only for 5 seconds. Some stayed, and actually 50 did sign up for feeds. Almost nothing in terms of adsense.
Actually, the depressing part comes as the spike in traffic goes and you get back to earning visitors one at a time! :-)
Ahmed was right in the fact that because most of my feed signups were from livebookmarks in Firefox, most of them went away. My readership dropped consistently until I was in the 90's, and then rose today back into the 430. I think the big reason was 1) people don't read as much over the web and 2) LifeDev was featured on Problogger.net. Pretty cool huh?
Hopefully I can keep the content up to snuff to keep my current readership :)
Regarding the fact that your AdSense ads did not bring in too much, I had an experiment with my site, which confirmed me the same thing: social bookmarking sites active readers are not interested in ads. If you want to see my post, here it is: http://www.alltipsandtricks.com/blog/2006/08/31...
Experienced similar traffic a few times, but it really depends on content, time of day and topic.
Cheers,
Chris
