Christopher Slowe is one of the most popular and richest Businessman who was born on November 8, 1978 in United States.

Reddit became a successful enterprise, calling itself “the front page of the Internet”, although it attracted its share of negative news, some of which arose from its “hands off” editorial approach of allowing content voted as worthy of retention to remain on its site. Reddit’s core values include anonymity and protecting identity, and these values center on the concept of open, free and protected speech on its website. Reddit was acquired by Condé Nast Publications, the owner of technology Magazine WIRED in October 2006. Conde Nast wanted Reddit to “just focus on building out, which may involve adding to the current staff of four (all co-founders), who will all move from Boston to San Francisco and work at Wired’s office.” A long-standing rivalry also developed between Reddit and Digg, a competing site, and a hostile feud with Gawker, a separate internet comment site, which remains at the time of writing, but by the time of the Violentacrez incident, Slowe had moved on.

Fellow co-founders at Reddit departed after the Conde Nast acquisition, Aaron Swartz resigning, and Huffman and Ohanian seeing out the legal duration of their contracts, before moving immediately to Hipmunk, an online travel startup service founded by Adam Goldstein. Slowe remained Reddit’s longest standing employee, and CEO, until 2010, when he left to become Chief Scientist at Hipmunk. There was much speculation as to the terms of his departure, but Slowe remained diplomatic, despite rumours of underfunding and understaffing by new owners Conde Nast. In an interview with TechCrunch he stated: “I decided to leave mostly because it was time to do something new. Five years in technology is a long time anywhere, and, without suggesting that Reddit is a completed project or anything but a continuously moving and evolving target, it was time to move onto something that is less fully formed with room to explore.” Returning again to the theme of solving hard problems, Slowe took on the job of troubleshooting most of the Hipmunk travel software. His rise as an internet personality, dot.com entrepreneur, social networking site founder, and member of the so-called “technorati” has been a very different path than the one initially travelled.
