I'm on there a lot at work between customers. I like the AMA, AskReddit, and TIL (Today I Learned) stuff.

The AMA's (Ask Me Anything) are probably my favorite. Really interesting stuff, from celebrities, down to people who are or have been homeless, just answering questions and telling their stories.

There was one on there the other day from someone who's been teaching english in South Korea for a few years, which is something my brother in law is considering.

TIL is probably my favorite default.

iama is cool, but personally, I'm not a huge fan of reddit's comment's system, so I don't really enjoy the AMA's that much.

I usually don't go on TIL for a month and then I'll hit Top > Month, and enjoy myself for the next 4 hours.

Yeah, they had one the other day asking for people who had ever killed someone in self defense. Some of the responses were pretty interesting. Although it is the internet, so you have to take them with a grain of salt.

Definitely agree - r/iama is one of my favorites for sure.

What's the story with the downfall of Digg? Wasn't it supposed to be similar?

Reddit's huge, and Digg's pretty much a failure.

There was a mass exodus from Digg to Reddit after the release of a particularly shitty new version of Digg.

Some of (what you'd think would be) the most mundane shit... turns out to be pretty interesting.

Thanks to this thread, I decided to actually give reddit a chance. Then I found /r/gone wild and then I fa.....err smiled for awhile.
