Taken from the 'Help' section: "reddit is a source for what's new and popular on the web -- personalized for you." Lipstick may be just easier to remember as a landing domain name. That could explain they didn't keep it as a subdomain. Brian is absolutely right.

(Very few digg clones have in fact.) It'll be interesting to see if they can change that.

Check out Claims to Fame by [Professor] Joshua Gamson): Moving from People magazine to publicists’ offices to tours of stars’ homes, Joshua Gamson investigates the larger-than-life terrain of American celebrity culture. In the first major academic work since the early 1940s to seriously analyze the meaning of fame in American life, Gamson begins with the often-heard criticisms that today’s heroes have been replaced by pseudoheroes, that notoriety has become detached from merit. He draws on literary and sociological theory, as well as interviews with celebrity-industry workers, to untangle the paradoxical nature of an American popular culture that is both obsessively invested in glamour and fantasy yet also aware of celebrity’s transparency and commercialism.Gamson examines the contemporary dream machine that publicists, tabloid newspapers, journalists, and TV interviewers use to create semi-fictional icons. He finds that celebrity watchers, for whom spotting celebrities becomes a spectator sport akin to watching football or fireworks, glean their own rewards in a game that turns as often on playing with inauthenticity as on identifying with stars.Gamson also looks at the celebritization of politics and the complex questions it poses regarding image and reality.
