"Cory Doctorow: Aaron Swartz and Hacktivism

At the age of three, he taught himself how to read. At the age of 14 he helped developed RSS, the innovation that allows websites to gather content from other sites. From there, he joined Creative Commons, co-founded Reddit, and founded DemandProgress.org. Sadly, in early 2012, Aaron Swartz took his own life after facing upwards of 35 years in a federal penitentiary for downloading millions of files from JSTOR, an online journal storage archive. He was 26 years old. Cory Doctorow, a friend of Aaron's, sits down with Steve Paikin to talk about the life, work, and hopes of Aaron Swartz, and the bigger battle that his death underscores: those that see the potential of a free and open internet to transform society for the better and those that seek to regulate it.

"Reddit Performs Bohemian Rhapsody

"I was browsing Reddit last night and one particular thread cought my eye — it was Reddit performing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. We've seen this done before on other sites many times, and they've all been pretty awesome, but Reddit's stuck out in particular. The Rage Faces are what added the extra razzle-dazzle to the thread, and became the centerpiece to my video — enjoy!

"The Culture Of Reddit | Off Book | PBS

Warning: This episode contains mature subject matter.

Since its creation in 2005, Reddit has grown into one of the most influential communities on the internet. More than just a content aggregator, it generates information and new content, and has given birth to intriguing collaborative projects that reflect a particular group character and value system. The Reddit community has become so active that it has had an impact on recent political events like SOPA/CISPA. And like any real-world community, it also has its share of internal social issues, forcing it to grapple with its commitment to free speech and the lawlessness of the internet.
