This is a good idea, akin to a Luxembourg for technology, except for one thing.
A lack of women. Oh sure maybe some redditors will bring their wives and girlfriends, but they will still be outnumbered in the same proportions as Women In Tech.
Solve the women problem and you'll have your island.

- brapse 16y agoI was at the last montreal reddit meetup, and the ratio was almost 8/6. (http://imgur.com/p5aWY http://imgur.com/p5aWY). Most of the guys: programmers. Most of the girls: graduate level psych students.
- m-photonic 16y agoI read somewhere that reddit as a whole is about 35% female; I'm not sure what the breakdown is when it comes to the different subcommunities within it. Also, what makes it almost 8/6? Based on that picture, the ratio seems to be exactly 8/6.
