While my PLN has expanded to include other websites and various tools, Reddit still dominates my PLN and internet time. It is the king of my PLN and I don't think it will be dethroned anytime soon. Quite simply put it is an all encompassing website for my personal preferences. If I want to explore TED talks, there is a reddit for that. If I want to review the latest technology, there is a reddit for that. If I want to follow the latest trends in education, there is a reddit for that as well! It has been my personal experience that everything I've looked for and wanted to learn more about I can find on that website. In my opinion it also offers the best and easiest way to blog and communicate with peers seeking and sharing the same information. While it's great to use apps such as symbaloo to wrangle in all of the sites one prefers in an easily accessible grid and I can see how that would appeal to people, I personally prefer my subreddits and reddit bookmarks because it seems to me like a PLN within a PLN, within a PLN, within a PLN within...(this goes on for a while as it's pretty much a super mega inception PLN.) Having said all of that however, my PLN is ever expanding and I look forward to finding new websites and apps to add as I keep exploring all of the wonderful things that technology has to offer.
