Reddit? You may not have heard of it, but for many, hours are spent infront of this website laughing and learning. For those of you who may not know what reddit is let us help explain it to you. Reddit is a site in which users submit articles, pictures, and other types of media and then the viewers of that site can then upvote or downvote those articles. The articles with the highest upvotes show up on the front page.
The site is primarily used as a way to waste time. There are even “subreddits” which are specialized catogories. If theres a nitch you may have, chances are there are people with that same interest. There is even a SPRINGFIELD ILLINOIS subreddit! Check that out at http://www.reddit.com/r/SpringfieldIL
Reddit also hosts gift exchanges, as well as helps donate money to charitable causes. Reddit will be hosting a get together and one of the reddit users, tinyboots_ is trying to host a meetup for the central illinois crowd. The meetup will be hosted in washington park at 5 p.m. this saturday june 25th. If you have used the site and would like to meet others with the same intersts, feel free to show up for hotdogs and hamburgers.
