Module 5 Post 1
Reddit is a social media web site that utilizes everything on the Internet from jokes, pictures, and news. It is like nothing else really on the Internet. Reddit calls itself the front page of the Internet, because of all of the things that a person can do on it. What makes Reddit a social media is that people have usernames, friends list, a way to private message other users, and big group discussions. Reddit has groups that one can join called subreddits, the subreddits are everything imaginable and then some. When you first go to Reddit it can be vary hard to figure it out at first there is a lot going on the front page. Once you get the feel of how it works and you get everything set up Reddit becomes very user friendly. My NPO is the Arc of Buffalo County, I do not thing that they would get much benefit from using reddit. The only way they could would be to create a subreddit and have all of their Facebook friends join.

I think that this platform could really be an good one. It lets its users get tons of information. But on the flip side of the coin it also might over bombard people with stuff. I know that sometimes I just want the content I am looking for. The idea of it being user friendly once you get it is nice but how much does it take effort wise to get a decent handle on it. Like will it take me like maybe 3 or 4 times of logging on to get a good feel or will it take me a few months. See with personal stuff 4 months doesn't matter but as an employer of a NPO you couldn't afford to have someone spending all their time trying to figure out how to work this social media site.
