Anyone who reads this blog knows that I’m not the most enthusiastic type person when it comes to all this social networking and other such Web 2.0 group hug type of stuff. Well I regret to report that I have succumbed - I have been coerced into being a part of one such social news experiment on reddit.

It all happened when MG Siegler; one of the bloggers I respect, emailed me asking if I would like to be one of the moderators for the new custom reddit he had setup when reddit made the service available. He informed me that my current partners in crime this endeavor would be none other than Louis Gray; who I also respected, and a new blogger for me - Frederic - but from what I’ve read of his site so far I can see why MG extended him the offer.

The way it works is that the reddit feed created by MG is where the group of us will post links to story in the tech blogosphere that we have found; for whatever reason to be relevant enough to share with the subscribers to the feed (or page on reddit). The illustrious name for this custom reddit feed is “Elite Tech News” (thanks MG .. nothing like setting the bar way up there eh ). So if you’re interested in checking it all out and maybe subscribing head over to the Elite Tech News page on reddit and subscribe.

Also both Louis Gray and Frederic have posted their take on this idea on their respective blogs incase you are interested - in other words they were both a little more technical oriented in their explanations of how this all works than this cranky old fart was
