Recently I stumbled onto Reddit and I am becoming quite a fan.
After using Digg, the social bookmarking site, for at least the last six months (the redesign and improved feature set has made it much more accessible IMHO), Slashdot has really got some work to do to keep at the fore front technology on the web. While Diggs stories are not always up to the editorial standard of Slashdot you can’t help but enthuse with the rare gems that appear probably on a daily bases.
This brings me onto Reddit.com. While initially I dismissed it as a Digg clone, thankfully I stuck at it. Though undoubtedly there is going to be overlapping content between the big 3; the wider content base provides an awful lot more scope. The community seeming more forgiving and with ‘original’ links being posted, perhaps there is space in what appears a very crowded niche for all to succeed? A Digg killer it isn’t but then I don’t thinks its trying to be.
