I’ll briefly explain Reddit for those that don’t know about it. Reddit started as a social bookmarking website, but has grown into a method of determining what is popular on the internet on any given day. Reddit allows you to “vote-up” stories / webpages / news / blogs that have interesting content and based on a simple algorithm will display the most popular stories of the day. Roughly a year ago Reddit allowed its users to make their own specialized sub-reddits and I made the: Chemistry Reddit

Here are the stats after a year in operation of the Chemistry Reddit:

Members: 863

Links Submitted: 250

Banned Users: 2 (although I think they are the same person)

Top 5 links:

Most unpopular link:

-1 vote: vote up if you think carbon should rhyme with boron/neon/argon/krypton/xenon/radon submitted by spacefaced

If you’ve never looked into social bookmarking I highly recommend Reddit. It has a good community, and a large active chemistry group.
