Bill Murray confirming he's on Ask Me Anything
Social entertainment networking site Reddit has launched an app for its "Ask Me Anything" subcategory where very prominent people reply to questions from the site's users and offer their insights and experiences.
The new application called "subreddit" could prove useful to Redditors, as Reddit subscribers are called, by allowing them to sift through the plethora of content posted on the site to find a particular VIP's message.

The Reddit Ask Me Anything-style posts have been as popular (if not more) than other specific question-and-answer-style response services such as Quora.
The move by Reddit is assumed not to compete against other apps with the same features, but rather provide better service to its Redditors, according to Venture Beat.
Redditors use their username and password to log in to use subreddit and then pick a thread from a number of various AMA groupings such as crime, food, business, journalism, entertainment and many others.
The program also lets users see exactly what types of data Reddit is gathering on a normal day of use.
People that have participated in subreddit include President Barack Obama, astronaut Buzz Aldrin, actors Peter Dinklage, Zachary Quinto and Bill Murray and even a man and a woman with two sets of genitals.
