Reddit
Reddit is a website where users can post social news through links available on the web which can be voted by other users. On the basis of this voting a news is displayed on the homepage. A news getting more votes can be on the homepage and viewed by users of this site.

On the top of this bar there are links to various sections dedicated to particular type of news any user may want to vote submit or read including politics, Pics, funny, programming, world news etc. These links are called sub reddits.

There is a discussion area on this site where users can discuss various links posted. Users can even vote against a particular link. A link is not displayed by default if enough votes are against a particular link. People submitting good articles which gets voted by other users as interesting are rewarded by “Karma” points.

Owners of the readdit don’t moderate it. But a system is available which curtails spam and is based on Users “reports”.

My reddit section is available on this website where user can personalize the type of news he wants to look for while singing in. This is a very good way for a reader of getting the exact type of links and news he is looking for.
