Site of the Day for Friday, November 4, 2011
BuzzFeed
Today's site, a tacky and frequently salacious publication out of New York City,
offers a smorgasbord of gossipy morsels. Gentle Subscribers, toiling in more
heavyweight fare, may be briefly entertained by these less than edifying
stories.
"We feature the kind of things you'd want to pass along to your friends: an
outrageous video that's about to go viral, an obscure subculture breaking into
the
mainstream, a juicy bit of gossip that everyone at the office will be talking
about
tomorrow, or an ordinary guy having his glorious 15-minutes of fame. And when
you
read BuzzFeed, you'll always know the movies, music, and products that are on
the
rise and worth your time." - from the website
Among the less sleazy features currently highlighted at BuzzFeed are notes on a
resurgent stock market, news on the latest Bond movie and video on a new
entrant in
mapping technology which offers photo realistic 3D city maps. One item
surprisingly
but firmly in the realm of the uplifting is "A Year in New York", a short film
by
Irish cameraman Andrew Clay, which is generating the best kind of "buzz".
