If you read this blog or watch "Trending Now" on a regular basis, you may be better acquainted with Reddit than most of the general public. We often site Reddit as the original source for where our story ideas come from. Even though some would argue that Reddit has and continues to change the way we share news, some people are still not quite sure what it is or how it works.

The FAQ sheet describes this portion of the festival as follows: "An incubator of cutting-edge technologies and digital creativity." The interactive festival includes keynote presentations, panel discussions, meet-ups,

Guide dogs are not just for humans anymore. Nope. Visually impaired dogs apparently use them, too. That's the case with dog buddies Eddie and Milo. Eddie is a 7-year-old black Labrador. His owner, Angie Baker-Stedham, of Cardiff, Wales, noticed that the dog was losing his sight last year when he started walking into walls and trashcans. Milo is a 6-year-old terrier mix. He had always been close to Eddie, and he took on a new role with his friend -- guide dog.

Baker-Stedham said that Milo became a guide dog all on his own, without any training whatsoever, and now will help to get Eddie whenever she calls for him. Milo wears bells on his collar so that Eddie can find him at all times. There are times when Milo even pulls Eddie along on a leash as they walk. Baker-Stedham said, "Milo really cares for Eddie.
