Our friend @craignewmark is doing an AMA on @Reddit ! Join in! Craig supports so many initiatives you can ask about, but in our case we'd suggest asking about Craig's specific approach to supporting the Wikimedia movement, and free and open knowledge on the Internet 😁.

[craig newmark @craignewmark]

Let’s give this a try, folks. Doing an AMA on Reddit (r/IamA) on Thursday at 11am ET.

Feel free to ask about craigslist, cybersecurity, supporting veterans and more. Pigeon questions also accepted.
