In the past, I've been able to control Computercraft with various devices including sms text messaging, xbox controllers, and wiimotes. This time, I decided to try and control Computercraft using Reddit, mostly just to see if it could be done. The answer is, yes it can be. Though the code is far from perfect, this is a concept showing that Computercraft can in fact be controlled using a subreddit I created. If I get enough requests, I may livestream a turtle for a few hours sometime, and have the subreddit open to the public. However, I don't think it's stable enough right now.
For those of you who don't want to have to set the system up yourself, and create your own subreddit, I've created a simple video showing the system in action, and a brief overview of how it works.

For those who are interested, you can find the current lua code HERE, the JSON API I used can be found HERE, and the PHP code can be found HERE. Of course if you want to use this on your own, you'll need to change a few of the variables. You can also find the Computercraft forum post that I created HERE.
