The most obvious application is for everyone Tom, Dick, and Sally to put up their own Reddit-based system on their own site, but how useful is that really? The beauty of Reddit is it's size--I can quickly find a lot of interesting stuff to read because the crowd has vetted the headlines for me. If there's a million 'personal' Reddits in the wild, that doesn't really help me.<br><br>Who knows, maybe the best new features will, as you say, be rolled into the main Reddit site.JeffWed, 18 Jun 2008 11:22:30 -0000
