Everybody knows that person.
You know who I’m talking about. That’s a friend who’s always posting hilarious videos on Facebook, or who knows about awesome Web sites and who’s always on top of what’s happening in the world. Well, if you start visiting buzzfeed.com you can be that person, too.
Buzzfeed.com collects all the web stories that are circulating and delivers them to you neatly all on one site. This is where you can find awesome videos like, “Antelope licks cat,” or a picture titled, “Giraffe with a hairpiece.” You’ll be entertained for hours reading all of the interesting, or just weird, things that you’ll find.
You can scroll down the main page to see all the latest posts or you can take a chance by pressing the red “random” button and see what pops up. You can also narrow what you want to view by clicking on one of several options: do you want to look at stories that are “LOL” or “OMG?” Maybe you want to see what’s “Trashy” today or what’s “Geeky” or “Cute.” These descriptions, by the way, are all given to each post by readers who can rate any story in any of these categories.
Can’t get enough buzzfeed? Then sign up for their daily e-mail, which sends you the most popular stories every morning. Buzzfeed also makes it easy to post stories you like on Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr. You can also track what your friends are viewing or what they liked.
Be sure to take into account the posts that have a NSFW label. This means the post is Not Safe For Work and you should be careful where you are viewing it. Some of the most entertaining posts are ones that highlight the dumb things people post on their Facebook statuses.
Take a look for yourself. Buzzfeed is a good break from studying and working to just delight in some thoughtless, hilarious entertainment.
