Reddit
Social Media Platform
Reddit is a free social news Web site on which users can post links to content on the Internet. Other users may then vote the posted links up or down, causing them to become more or less prominent on the Reddit home page. Reddit is similar to Digg.com except it has exclusively user-generated content.
The site has areas in which users may discuss the posted links and vote for or against others' comments. When there are enough votes against a given comment, it will not be displayed by default, although a reader can display it through a link or preference. Users who submit articles which other users like and subsequently "vote up" receive "karma" points as a reward for submitting articles those other users consider interesting.
Reddit also includes topical sections called "reddits" (colloquially called "subreddits"), which focus on specific topics, such as politics, programming or science.
