Reddit.com’s sub section, IAMA, has been quite popular since it started about 4 months ago. The idea, is you say you are xSuch and Suchx, and anyone can ask you(me) anything (AMA), or almost anything (amaa).

I’ve been reading some of the more popular ones, which have very entertaining and intriguing. There’s nothing more interesting than real peoples lives (usually anyway).

Since most posts are anaymous, Reddit and it’s community has been asking for proof of verification – so on most of these there is some sort of proof of the postings IAmA.

Here are some of the best threads I’ve come across.
