Google maps, email, search (as a backend to privacy respecting gateways), Android and... I feel like I'm just getting warmed up.
Google and it's not even close.
Reddit is a good way to connect. But it's social media. There's lots of players here. Reddit's strength was the (false) perception that it was 'one of us'.
