    Ted, Google video, eurekalert, and browsing/downloading items off a certain unmentionable website before it closes next month.

    Hi,
    have you tried stumbleupon?
    You can either download it as a toolbar or more recently ya can just google it and use it in a browser.
    You are offered boxs to tick corresponding to your interests and based on that it will keep offering sites based on what you tick.
    It also learns from you(via a thumbs up or down button)and narrows down even more to sites suited to your personal taste.

    cheers

    My internet home is the Jimmy Eat World message board.

    Also: stumbleupon is brilliant. Killed about two hours last night looking at philosophical quotes, Einstein essays, online music programs, photography, and for some reason, lots of baby animals pictures. Great stuff.

    I bought the book on Monday. It is hilarious. :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,779 ✭✭✭A Neurotic


    Oooh, a book, eh? Gotta get me some of that.

    My favourite one is "There's something wrong with my pants". I was in physical pain, laughing at that one.

    .....teh goggles,they do nothing!?!?

    What a horribly laid out website!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,939 ✭✭✭mardybumbum


    Tis true.
    Its a shame, as some of the more interesting threads get pushed down the page by your standard "I lost my Dog" or "Has anyone got a civic for sale" posts.
    I suppose the amount of posts it recieves daily doesn't warrant a layout like this here boards.
    Ah well, tis handy enough for keeping tabs on whats going on around town I guess.

    What did you do to get IP banned? I spend more time browsing the mains than posting in the newbies. So many absolute tools in there. Sack Fergie Sell Giggs sort of thing :mad:
