Rob CmdrTaco Malda AMA On Reddit

TheNextCorner writes with news on where CmdrTaco has been hiding. Quoting Malda's IamA blurb over at that Reddit thing: "In 1997 I started Slashdot.org. For several years, we pioneered news aggregation and on-line communities while exploring our niche of the 'net under the slogan, 'News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters.' Our work was later expanded upon at countless other more successful sites including Reddit and the Huffington Post. I left Slashdot last year, took a long time off, and then started work at the Washington Post Co's WaPo Labs their digital media R&D skunkworks group. I work as their Chief Strategist and Editor-at-Large, contributing what I can to a variety of projects ranging from their Social Reader, to some projects under development. From here I am able to continue to explore my interests in news, journalism, technology, and communities. ... I'll hopefully be answering from 2pm-5pm ET"

Re:Wrong place to do a Q&A

increasingly i find reddit to have a much higher standard of comments on it than slashdot. on slashdot there's a real theme of "everything sucks, especially if it's new or been posted about more than twice in the last month" on reddit there's almost no hate and depending on which sub-reddits (especially askscience) you are in you can find some really interesting stuff posted.

digg is pretty much dead, youtube isn't even really a comment system, you might as well turn those off and facebook depends entirely on who your friends are so you really have only yourself to blame.
