Lipstick.com is really Reddit

Lipstick.com is really SubReddit. In other words while Conde Nast might own it, Reddit really is the engine behind it. Or as someone just said: it smells like an (OEM) deal. While the domain is owned by Condenast, the Address records for Lipstick and Reddit are pretty close: 72.5.28.217 and 72.5.28.218. So what do I really think about Lipstick.com? Find out here!

It seems like either OEM deal or Reddit owns it. I tried creating account on Lipstick.com, but they rejected my username because I already have the same username on reddit.

It seems they are using same user database. So, it’s kind of hosted OEM deal.

It’s an interesting this for Conde Nast to be involved in - what I can’t work out is there angle, what do they really hope to gain?
