One of the people I met this weekend at TEDxCMU is the moderator of the Reddit Pittsburgh – who reminded me that this can be a great source for sharing and finding more information about Pittsburgh.

What is reddit? reddit is a website where people can share links and photos – others can vote those links up or down and leave comments on the links as well. There are sub-reddits for lots of places and topics – including Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh reddit board is – http://www.reddit.com/r/pittsburgh/.

Are you a reddit fan? reddit user? maybe some of the Pittsburgh reddit lovers can share some of their favorite links below.

Thanks to CMU Activities Board for bringing another interesting speaker to town – we had a great time at last month’s talk by Christian Lander (the author of Stuff White People Like). I am eager to learn more about reddit and BreadPig.com
