News Sharing Tools

News breaks faster than ever, and for those enthusiastic enough to follow it as it breaks, the best way to ensure it can be used as fuel for conversation is to share it with others directly. Platforms like Reddit and Digg allow users to share news on a potentially larger platform than where it initially was released or reported, enabling further discussion and awareness of potentially important events.

  1. Reddit (stylized in its logo as reddit) is an American social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website. Registered members submit content to the site such as links, text posts, and images, which are then voted up or down by other members.

  2. Uncensored free speech alternative to the extreme Reddit and Voat forums, democratically civilized by Graham's Debate Pyramid, no illegal transactions nor porn. Truth-seeking anti-corruption news are among the popular themes. Android app, iOS soon.

  4. Digg delivers the most interesting and talked-about stories on the Web right now.
