Blog Post # 1

I kill hours when I should be working watching Youtube videos, reading Wikipedia pages, checking up on Facebook, or looking at Cracked.com. I like the variety user based content gives to the media that your viewing because instead of having opinions channeled through one solitary set of values, what you get is a combination of a whole.

I think my favorite aspect of sites based off of user input is the proliferation of comments sections. This allows of course some crazy or weird people to vent madness online but for the most part it does make articles better. There are many times when a video or article’s response is more funny than the actual content that I went to the site to obtain. I usually try to post every once and a while in the comments section, if I have a good joke or someone is saying something completely wrong
