Everytime something important happens I notice reddit is a better source of getting an aggregate of information than twitter or (sometimes) news outlets.

Relevant reddit thread for this incident.

Except for that time they framed someone completely innocent for the Boston bombing. We did it Reddit!

Good for news and raw info - REALLY bad at analysis.

Agreed. I would say this is actually a feature of Reddit that the team there has worked on over the years.

I found that for the New Zealand earthquakes last week, that Twitter was a better source than Reddit for information that was actually relevant to me as a local.
