I'm surprised at the downvotes. Comments seem focused on the differences between the two and not the similarities. If they were exactly the same, there'd be no reason to combine them.
It's a crazy idea. I don't know if it's crazy good or crazy silly. But I think it merits some consideration.
Personally, I use twitter to keep up with very narrow niche news (like subfields within AI or the private space industry), and guess what, I use Reddit to keep up with targeted interests. That both are public by default is fascinating. For one thing, Reddit integration might make it easier to find people to follow.
Or maybe it's a bad idea, I don't know, but it seems original and worth considering, and might lead to interesting improvements for either system.
Uhh, what? Reddit and Twitter have completely different models. Twitter is very person-oriented ("what is this person saying") while Reddit is very topic-oriented ("what are people saying about this topic"). They have completely different use cases.
