Facebouffe

“To date, the Facebook phenomenon has more than 400 million users of which 50% are active on the network. More than 160 million companies are present too. Do not look for me, I’m not there, but most of my students are and the network has become, it seems, a must for them and many others. This phenomenon is not without changing human relationships and substantially modifies the border of privacy and what is public domain.
In some ways, the phenomenon is linked to mass consumption in proposing disposable and exchangeable relationships. To respond to this phenomenon, Audrey Wells has imagined those little chocolate squares packed randomly with Facebook’s portraits and their personal profile. Like the famous social network, when you buy this chocolate “Facebouffe” you do not know who it will matter but you can fill this obsessive curiosity to meet all the characters more virtual than real.” – credit

I found this interesting idea via one of my favourite food blogs. From there I got redirected to what I presume to be the main site and creator of these unique little chocolate tidbits. Feeding off of the irony and popularity of Facebook, these little chocolates are wrapped with miniature photos of your friends, profile picture and all. Inside their profile info can be found to your delight. A total random sampling of your friends in chocolate form for your enjoyment.  This idea was brought to the world by Audrey Wells stating it the Facebouffe project. Would you be willing to buy some?

Do you Plinky?

Writer’s block can be such a pain. You’re often stuck with that desire to write about something but can’t seem to put a topic together worth writing about. Have no fear, Plinky is here! Now I know the name sounds a little odd but the site is great. Plinky provides writing prompts to kick start your writing gears. Each day a new question or writing challenge is posted onto the site. Your answers are sought after and you can share them on your blog, facebook, twitter…etc. Maybe this sparks a new idea. Maybe you want to elaborate more. Maybe all you can come up with is one sentence to answer the question but hey, that’s better than the blank page you had 5 mins ago right? You can also get email reminders on a daily or weekly basis to deliver the questions right to your inbox. It’s all very simple and easy. OR if you’re just like me and like answering questions for the fun of it, this might be the answer to your prayers.

You can also submit your own questions and see if it makes the cut. Scroll the answers list for each question and find people who think the same as you do or challenge someone to a debate. Open your doors to the opinions and lives of others. You never know what you might find.

P.S. this is my Plinky – tabularasa , come find me & pls follow! :)

Have you visited land of the Trolls?

I must confess that I’ve submitted on several occasions to the mindless fun that comes with trolling the interwebs, preying on the innocent and idiotic. It definitely passes the time and when done right, ensure lots of laughter on your part. This trolling website brings some of the best trolling tactics straight to you for your evil enjoyment. Although named specifically for Chatroullette trolling, it takes examples from other sites like yahoo answers, omegle and cleverbot. Why attempt your own when you can have all the laughs delivered right to you. You can also join and feature your own trolling examples on the site or vote for others by clicking the vote tab to see your favourites make it onto the front page.

This site falls under the umbrella of The Cheezburger Network which contains many other procrastinating encouraging sites. Definitely something to check out although probably NSFW. :)

The Lo down with Lo Bosworth

My dream is to be a jack of all traits woman especially on the internet information world. Lo’s website is exactly what I hope my website is someday (with the twist that I’m not famous so maybe I’m more approachable???) Nevertheless, her website is a fantastic place to seek new info on all aspects of a young and trendy person’s life. She and other writers in her team feature works related in the categories of relationships, beauty, life and so forth. It’s an all around navigation tool for those looking for some insight of one of the beloved cast members of the hills (and by far, one of the more level-headed ones). Check it out for yourself as I often do in my spare time

Smile for the camera! :)

For the camera whores in all of us, there’s this great site Daily Booth that features people taking photos either in the moment or from their files and posting it online. It’s similar to the concept of Twitter only the focus isn’t what you have to say but what you want to show. There’s a live feed featuring the latest posts from people around the world. It can link up to your webcam and has user-friendly simple uploading. You’re able to make comments, follow certain users and share your findings on other networking sites.

So give it a try. Take a snapshot of your day, your life, your world and let everyone see. Feed into your narcissistic side, I know you’ve got one ;)
