Interviewly is the only way to read Reddit AMAs

Reddit’s Ask Me Anything (AMA) interviews are awesome. At AMA time, someone – either famous or well deserving or unusual or all three – puts themselves at the mercy of the massive online community and literally allows them to pitch any questions (although they don’t promise to answer them all). The AMA’s high profile past participants include American president Barack Obama, Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hammil and even the former Governator of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. One of the biggest problems faced by users who arrive late or even after an AMA has concluded is the overwhelming sense of disorganised chaos once comments and questions become mixed up.

Interviewly is a website that adds a layer of spit and polish to the crazy world of the AMA. Interviewly was born of a combination of its creator Dan Drabik’s love for Reddit and a sense of confusion and frustration with its lack of structure specifically around AMAs.

“Reddit is great, but the format isn’t conducive to interviews (so AMA’s end up a bit ugly and hard to follow). I’ve cleaned them up a bit, added photos, ordered the questions chronologically, and broken them into categories. For now, I’ve focused on the interviews of well-known people, but that may expand in the future.”

Interviewly transforms the AMA into a Q&A style interview which makes it easier for you to read the responses given by the host to each question without the distraction of the litany of comments that follow each response. It even adds a smattering of images of the host from Wikipedia into the page to break the constant flow of text that can overwhelm some users. The site is divided into sections for AMAs from famous people in film and TV, music, authors, sports, tech, politics and others. With a type of curation system that puts the most popular AMAs at the top of each section.

Not convinced of the Interviewly magic just quite yet? Here is the two hour AMA conducted with everyone’s favourite drug dealer, Aaron Paul, better known as Jesse Pinkman from the TV show Breaking Bad, and here is the Interviewly version of the same AMA. No competition. At all.
