Woo.
Hang out the bunting. I've found a website that interests me. It's
really great.
It informs, it shocks. It's the kind of
site that everyone gathers round like an accident, gawking and pointing
and wowing.
This pleases me not just because the rarity of such an occurrence
these days, but because a good website only has one use. Not to be
read (oh pur-lease - actually reading websites is sooo 1998).
No, a good URL only exists so it can be sent to your friends.
Sending a good link to a nice juicy shocker of a website is the Net-equivalent
of bumping into a celebrity or bedding someone desirable.
You get mega kudos from your peers. People are impressed. You get
attention. CC a great site around and, by osmosis, the greatness of
the site will seep into you.
They imagine you're some kind of wild Internet frontiersman/treasure
hunter for whom the Web is like some small easily explored patio.
You feel like a one person USS Enterprise, out on a mission to discover
strange new pictures of really fat people and to send them around
to bored office folk.
With this in mind, I now have a two-box mental tick list for every
new site I come across:
1) must look good;
2) must contain jaw-dropping "no way!" content (usually a picture
of some white trash american eating their own shit)
Oh yeah, anyway the brilliant site is I have find is...hold on.
If I tell you the address, you'll just pass it onto your friends and
get the kudos meant for me. Hey this is my site. Alright I didn't
create it, I don't update it, and I certainly didn't think of the
idea, but it's mine. All mine. Find your own.
