…it’s a great resource to get non-traditional thoughts, pictures and feedback on local news and events.
Just like my recent post on the value of Google Street Maps as a way to “travel” without leaving home, Reddit can help you do the same, especially when there is a current news event happening in a specific city.
For example, with the “Snowpocalypse” that’s happening in Atlanta, I visited /r/Atlanta to see what Redditors were saying and sharing about current events.
I did the same when the Rob Ford scandal was at its height by visiting /r/Toronto and am now checking out /r/Edmonton regularly since we’re going there next month for a one week holiday. (Don’t tell Pace as we haven’t told him yet!) 😉
