Hey! I can relate to that....

So I had no idea what I was going to write about for this weeks blog entry. Luckily between the mention of reddit and the graphic about the information commons I think I have a topic.

Reddit is a prime example of the Information Commons. There are links to links and sub-catagorized links called sub-reddits which encompass just about any interest you could want to think of. Users of reddit (called redditors by their own) find content from across the web and in many cases create the content themselves. The users are also the consumers hence we have a community of produsers living within the information commons.

Gaining entrance to the community is as easy as creating an account (which is free) and jumping into an existing thread or posting a new thread on the topic of your choice. Reddit truly is a mini-commons where there is little barrier to entry and no barrier to retrieval.
