Using popurls To Keep Up With What’s Happening Online

Jason Bean — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 03:18:44 +0000

Personally I love all the information that’s available to you on the Internet. The challenge though is finding the time to even get a glimpse of everything that’s going on online. Popurls gives you an easy way to find what’s popular across a variety of websites.

Popurls labels themselves as a "genuine aggregator". They bring together everything being discussed on the most popular networks online. Whether or not you’re active on twitter, Digg, Delicious, Reddit, Yahoo Buzz, Technorati and more, Popurls is bringing it all together for you on one screen. The Popurls site is even bringing you the popular photos from flickr and videos from YouTube.

Even that list doesn’t really do justice to just how much information is being aggregated together by Popurls. When you start scrolling through the main page it’s like an Energizer battery commercial, it just keeps going and going. Luckily you can customize the site to bring you the topics you’re interested in from the sources you want.

Click through the more link below to see a screen capture of the site’s current homepage. It’s absolutely loaded with information!

Weird Guy Dancing Starts a Movement

We’ve all been there. You’re at a concert or some other event with music and a crowd and there’s that one guy that’s dancing all by himself. You’re looking at him and wondering to yourself where his friends are to tell him to stop making a fool of himself.

But what if everyone stopped worrying about what they looked like in the crowd and just let go like this guy did. It starts a movement of free expression right? On a side note, does anyone else start to think of Christ Kattan’s character, Mr. Peepers, from Saturday Night Live?
