Reddit and Imagur –
sure fire help for long winter days
This Blog is read by many people. Some of
them are little older. Many of them are in Canada and the colder parts of the
USA. The stats tell me all that.
So for those folk today I offer something
special.
It is February 19 and Ontario is about to get
another snow storm. To the west of Ontario they have just had another blizzard –
for non-blizzard people means lots of snow and high winds. In these cases Canadians and Northern US
people stay inside.
And on these days they usually do things on
their computers. Things like Facebook and email are popular more and more this
winter. You can also see as the storm
hits an area there are way more posts than normal. BUT not all your emails and
Facebook posts are answered – are they?
Having said all that I have something to
offer these storm bound and storm stayed friends of mine. It is called “Reddit” and also another one
that is kind of connected “Imgur”. These
two sites will help anyone make it through a storm wherever it might be and for
whatever time is needed to get through it.
BUT a fair warning, both are a ridiculously time
wasting. Once into the sites and into what they do you will not come out for
hours! In fact my guess is… if you start
today you may not come out until Springtime is half over! Winter will have gone and you will not be
able to even remember where it went!!!
I do not know how to explain “www.reddit.com” – other than it’s like the
comment area on Facebook… only a gazillion times more – on almost any topic.
And if the topic doesn’t exist you can start one… then sit back and watch how
many people might think like you did at that moment.
“Imgur” is all about images. People are allowed to comment on any image
that appears and then you can Like or Dislike the photo… resulting in so many
points for the image… and comments can be good or not so good – crude at times
and without much editing… resulting in unkind comments at times. Instead of
just your world of Friends seeing the photo and image… the entire world can see
it.
My suggestion is that you may not want to
contribute something that is too personal, something or someone that you love…
because as sure as I type this there are real jerks that will cut it to pieces.
www.imgur.com
is one of the strangest places I have visited on the Web – yet totally fascinating!
So, now as the storm approaches today for
central Ontario… and those in Northern Ontario along with Manitoba blow snow…
enjoy the Reddit and Imgur.
I do not know an antidote for these two sites
yet… other than a good shovel and lots of snow!
Good luck!!
