Reddit Media: what Reddit would look like with an image section

Reddit MediaSome of the most popular links on Digg, Reddit, and other social news sites are funny or interesting pictures. But you have to read through a lot of text to find them. Niether Digg nor Reddit have tools to display photo or video thumbnails. They're sort of the Craigslists of social media.

Reddit Media is an interesting take on what Reddit would look like with image thumbnails. The site is unaffiliated with Reddit (and thus it could be just a matter of time before Conde Nast shuts it down). But it has a look and interface that's quite similar to Reddit. The only difference is that Reddit Media scans Reddit for posts with images and puts a thumnbnail next to the headline.

Perhaps if the site gains enough traction, Reddit will decide to copy it and not just shut it down.
