@channeljoel228 TIL imgur came from Reddit. That's awesome.

@channeljoel228 Is it possible to get links to any AMA or other explanatory posts for these businesses which talk about them or ultimately were the cause for their inception?

@channeljoel228 Racy.com (mildly nsfw, sextoys, etc) We probably don't deserve to be on your list, but we've been around for a few years and mostly redditors.

@channeljoel228 http://www.radioreddit.com is a music service built directly on top of reddit. Sort of a "startup"

@channeljoel228 I'm sure there are plenty of other Reddit users who own interesting startups, but just haven't shared them with the community

@puppymom I am pretty sure this is a list of startups that arose because of reddit, not startups by people who happen to be redditors.

@channeljoel228 Thanks for putting this list together. I didn't even know of some of these startups! :]

@channeljoel228 I think idonethis also involves some active redditors

@channeljoel228 LeanStart up? Are you Eric Ries?

@channeljoel228 Give me about 2 months and we should be live. I'm creating Rock Lobby, which aims to make live music more awesome. It will be totally free and with no ads, at least for a while.

@channeljoel228 I got tired of wandering around aimlessly in Bangkok and decided to work on my pet project, Talk Bangkok, which just launched recently.

Our focus is on being an unbiased online publication dedicated to listing Bangkok's dining, shopping, tourist attractions and nightlife. We've really tried to become a resource with our online map, showing the location of all listings as well.

@channeljoel228 I wish someone with HR and job coaching experience with people with depression, social phobia or autism spectrum disorders would start a nonprofit service that would trawl Reddit and message boards for intelligent sounding message board users who talk about being totally trapped and unable to find appropriate work. This nonprofit would help those people get HTML training, social media training, etc. and help them get jobs that are perfect for moderately techy people who hate dealing with people face to face, are not diplomatic, are not suited for working on teams, but can work long hours by themselves on jobs that would bore other people.

@channeljoel228 I am shocked that Credit Karma is not on this list. www.creditkarma.com, the user CredditKarma is fairly active.
