* It has come to my attention that there are still a few people that use the internet in a very limited way. For instance my best friend Jean. Our conversations go like this:
Jean – “I can’t find a good pumpkin pie recipie. I have looked everywhere.”
Me – “Did you look on the internet?”
Jean – “Oh gosh, no! I forgot about the net.”
Jean has had a computer for 10 years.
But, this article is not about research but about really cool websites that some people have never heard of. Maybe they didn’t think to look, who knows. I don’t know how many times I have ask people, that own computers, if they have a Flickr account. They reply, “Whats Flickr?”
So here are my top favorite websites that I think all people should know: (I am leaving out things like Facebook and such.)
http://www.flickr.com/ – photo posting sight. Great for sharing images and especially images of art and crafts.
http://www.craftster.org/ - A online craft community where you can discuss craft, art and post your projects.
http://www.etsy.com/ - Online handmade product store. The love of my life.
http://craftzine.com/ - Online craft magazine. Crafts new world order’s favorite mag.
Fun Stuff
http://cuteoverload.com/ - Cuteness is everywhere on this site. Puppies, Kitties, bunnies galore! This site has cuteness down to a science. They have also developed there own Cute Speak, which I love.
http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ - This site is one of two site that will make me laugh so hard that I will cry, Their motto is “When Professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong”
http://www.engrish.com/ - What can I say? This is the second site that brings tears to my eyes. Who thought that bad translations could be so, well, BAD!
I know that there are a ton more sites that are important, in one way or another, so please let me know what you think. I would like to list new web sites in another blog entry.
* The artwork used in this blog entry, even thought it doesn’t fit the topic, is a print that will be coming out real soon.
I love the conversation at the beginning of this blog post. I live on the internet, so I forget about people like Jean. I shared this in Google Reader, which is another Awesome Internet Thing that people never know about.
Engrish.com cracks me up! Like Google reader, I couldn’t live without my RSS feeds that show me in Safari when one of my fave blogs has updated. Oh, and there’s the internet classic, I Can Has Cheezeburger. You are not on top of pop culture if you don’t get bukkit and ceiling cat references.
Passive Aggressive notes is hilarious, as our My Very Worst Date and it’s affiliated site, My Very Worst Roommate.
The cakewrecks is hilarious!
Thanks for posting those sites. It’s fun to laugh!\
