I've always thought of the reddit logo as exceptionally hideous, childish, AND unprofessional -- we scored a hat-trick!

When Steve and I started reddit, he was dating that same girl (now his fiancee). She was always very supportive of him/us, so I'm not sure where you got your data about him potentially not doing reddit because of her. And yes, I am indeed

Pity it's not true. Steve and I weren't anywhere near that good at finding interesting content. Here's the C&P'd response I left on his blog: Thorough writeup, Tom. I'm curious as to where you got all your data, though. Steve and I we

I like dropping the f-bomb, so perhaps my title was overly hostile. I hoped the takeaway would be that real-life interaction is still the best place for serendipitous encounters.

Steve and I agreed long ago that the film version of reddit's story must star Anthony Michael Hall and Christopher Walken, respectively.

Haha! That's one of the best comments I've read online in a while.

To the argument about reddit suffering from "Vote up if..." syndrome, we've thought about building a "poll" submission type (like a self-post) that would create an actual poll on reddit as the submission. We'd like to see fewer of these po

Yes, as I mentioned above, we left that conversation with PG thinking about how we could build a destination for all the best & freshest content online. The catchy slogan (front page of the web) was pure PG. But how the actual site wo

Yep. Our original startup (based on Steve's idea from a trip to a gas station in central VA) was mobile-based and 100% rejected by YC. Heh. We left that meeting with PG (Steve and I still have the notes in our notebooks) aiming to build a
