Tried out www.reddit.com

[Sunday: 3.5 miles; Tuesday 3.5 miles]

I’ve spent some time over the last week or two on the social media website called Reddit. 

As far as social media goes, it is a good complement to Facebook.  Facebook, the way I use it, is mostly about friends and what they are up to.  Reddit is a much wider sphere of people, folks that I have no connection to other than to post comments on things.  Reddit reminds me more of the old SlashDot, which may still be out there for all I know.

I did run cross-ways of a guy who was very sure of facts A B C, having no personal experience nor any real reason other than his common sense to stick to A B C.  I tried to point out that he was wrong, and that didn’t go so well.  But I’ve been on both sides of that kind of conversation, so I try to be patient.

I think that time spent on Reddit and Facebook are one-up on any time spent in front of a television.
