//Reddit.com is a social news site where users can post links to anything from world news to funny pictures.//

Reddit was founded by two University of Virginia graduates in 2005- Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian. The site allows members to vote for or against various links. The more votes certain topics get, the higher on the list they appear.

People visit Reddit for multiple reasons including:
 * Updates on world news, technology, science discoveries, gaming, and politics among others.
 * Find humor in the jokes, pictures, videos, or comments posted by members (which can be voted for just like the topics themselves).
 * Seek advice by posting questions
 * Post pictures or discuss accomplishments/creations they have made

Reddit is a very unique site. It is a perfect tool to help in our days of information overload. Its informative, intriguing, and humorous. The site itself has nearly 33,000 subscribers and is growing rapidly. Its immensely popular with Gen Y and its topics are often geared towards them as well
