Redditors!

reddit.com is an open source social news website, combining internet memes, social interaction, and leading news.  Posts are listed by 'karma', a system in which users vote on a post, giving it either 'good karma' or 'bad karma'; the posts with the best karma reach the front page.  I'd like to represent the reddit users, also known as redditors.

reddit.com has been calls itself the 'voice of the internet,' and is used by many as their main source for current events.  Redditors sometimes post for a particular audience (IAMA... AMA posts give a brief bio about the poster, then open the floor for questions), but the post is open for everyone to comment on, the good and the bad.  Because the redditor base is so large, you can easily find cutting news before it hits the mainstream, or further insights on current events and information (Japan articles are some of the most frequently posted for the past week).

Redditors offer their own, biased opinions on whatever you post, but since the site has pretty liberal ideals, this is usually (mostly) uncensored, giving the audience a way to check facts against the media.
