The dangers of asking for help on the internet...

I think I know that guy...

Where do you find your material? It's the best

I follow a lot of sites and most of the stuff I post I find through their crowd sourcing or aggregation. I use a lot of social bookmarking to both save the interesting things I find and to find things that others found interesting and have recommended. This site's going to have social bookmarking like that in the future so this is where I'll do my bookmark sharing.

So basically what I do is use the crowd to surf the internet for me, and there are whole sites dedicated toward finding sites that the crowds find interesting, like:

delicious.com
stumbleupon.com
digg.com
reddit.com

I follow a lot of other aggregators and specific niches I'm interested in (technical, academic and news) but those sites are where I run into most of the things people here find interesting.

Where do you mainly go for news?

To catch breaking news I read CNN and that's probably the news site I visit first if I just want to see what's going on. When I want to know more about a particular subject I'll then search (web search and news search) and land on all kinds of different sources depending on the story.

I also get news through a variety of RSS feeds from Yahoo, Google News, and many many more (I've used hundreds of different feeds) and I use a lot of different niche sites (for example in tech I'll often read news.com, techcrunch, engadget, ...... I don't want to list them all, I sometimes blog tech news on a tech blog that Nick and I (and eventually Steve) are doing but since a2k launched I haven't had a lot of time for that.

That one's just kind of sad...

The other ones were funny tho

Far out!! That was brilliant!

Case in point (found this whilst researching my Hamster Hangout thread):

On WikiAnswers.com:

Love the first one, but the second one is a little scary -- I'm not 100% convinced that Miss Kristy wouldn't try it. (Especially if she chose that as the best answer... eek.)

I felt the same way, and don't condone any of those kinds of answers because of such potential.

But I think most of these are faked (my evidence for it are that many of the screenshots of funny Yahoo answers I have seen were taken a second after they were posted).

OK, that's reassuring. Hope it's fake.

I hope so too. I tried that (not becoming a mermaid but breathing water) as a kid and it was incredibly painful.

Fabulous - both of them.

I AM VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT MY CAPS LOCK.
