a user generated web 2.0 news website with a lefty, libertarian and geek slant. tends to be slightly more upmarket than its larger compet-tor digg. the comment system at reddit actually works unlike the broken system over on digg. this results in (usually) more intelligent conversations. one issue with reddit is that a number of users have installed bots which automatically down vote or up vote specific topics. in 2007, it was known for its support of ron paul (and then later obama), its anger at george w bush and cheney and its opposition to the invasion of iraq and its opposition to any potential attack on iran. reddit users are also overwhelming against organized religion be it christian, the cult of scientology, islam or judaism.

one annoying or endearing feature of reddit that is also unique is “theme” usernames who behavior in stereotyped fashions usually occuring to their chosen username (eg. captain_obvious.) these can be fun, but they usually wear pretty thin after a few days.

in general, reddit is a smart forum than digg, although everyone is always saying that slowly reddit is becoming digg while digg is becoming 4chan.
typical reddit postings:

vote up if you want george w bush impeached!

reddit, it’s like 4chan with a condom.
a user based article submission site populated mainly by former/current users of digg, 4chan and other user-based social media groups. the content is almost identical but there is a general hipster mentality that reddit is the coolest of the three and, therefore, the tone of much of the site is very snarky and ego-driven.

submissions and comments can be voted up or down the page in order of relevance, but this function is used almost solely for the purpose of promoting the opinions that represent the majority view, or simply the most smart-ss remark.
