About Reddit

Reddit is a very popular entertainment and social news networking service. It’s kind of like Slashdot in that users vote on which stories are the best and they can get promoted to the front page.

Reddit has lots of sub-sites called subreddits that are devoted to specific subjects, like gaming, photos, programming languages, etc.
