Reddit meets the Indie
I am a redditor and have been for some time. Yes IM buddies; that’s where that interesting link came from. When reddit decided to open up their code to the open-source community we all knew that some interesting stuff would pop-up. One of the UK’s rather more respectable rags; the Independent has decided to utilise the capabilities of reddit to rank its own news stories. It’s great to see a big old paper embrace an open-source system like this, but it’d be better if the Indie’s comments and those upon it’s reddit pages were syncronised. Small steps tho, ‘eh.
There is an announcement on the reddit blog and the new Independant reddit is now live, albeit not as busy as it could be.
