Sad Reddit suicide. Let us carry on by supporting Reddit!

The Co-founder of Reddit recently committed suicide!




The Internet genius behind the popular Web site Reddit.com committed suicide at his Brooklyn home today, police sources and friends said.
Cops discovered Aaron Swartz unconscious at 9:30 a.m. and are now investigating whether he hanged himself, law enforcement sources said.
Swartz helped create Reddit and drafted an early version of the RSS format, a “Web feed” that syndicates popular headlines.
Friends yesterday called him a prolific intellectual — and a computer geek legend — who had long suffered from depression.

It is too bad that he could not have healed himself from his torments.  However now that he is gone we must continue on his work.

I had been considering for a awhile whether to submit links to reddit, and I am going to make sure to do it now!
