  Thanks! I'm going to try and get my http://breadpig.posterous.com http://breadpig.posterous.com going, but there's always http://alexisohanian.com http://alexisohanian.com if you'd like the scoop on what we're working on next... reddit is going to be hard to top, or even match, so please keep your expectations measured :) It's funny how much weight we put in past success as an indicator of future success, no matter how much we may repeat the mantra that it's not. Going from spec-ing out features for reddit with Steve in an apartment to acquisition 16months later is the kind of thing that can only happen with a tremendous amount of chance.

    Congrats! You guys made something that really has changed the internets. I'm convinced that Ron Paul wouldn't have even been on the political radar this past fall had it not been for Reddit. That's pretty impressive when you think about it. And, I'm going to be launching a social news site soon geared towards business/financial topics. I'd love to be able to pick your brain a bit about the process of building reddit. I think you guys would have some pretty amazing insights to offer. I'd love to pick your brain over coffee and/or beer at some point. If you're interested, ping me: iamelgringo at google's_email_service dot com

      I hope you're taking advantage of our open-source reddit code. http://code.reddit.com http://code.reddit.com Email on the way. I've always encouraged folks to bring on the competition :) social news is far from done.
