Mashable reports that photo sharing service Flickr crossed the 5 billion photo mark!
Want to take a guess what the 5 billionth photo was?
I'm gonna go with "some kinda bullshit" …and then look above and that's the photo and I'm right.
Basically, Flickr is like having to sit through all the boring photos my girlfriend took while in South America times five. And though you have to commend them for the sheer volume of photos they've come to host on their site, at some point you have to sit down and think, we're using energy to store all of this?
I mean, even with traditional photos eventually you cleaned out your basement or set your house on fire to collect insurance money or something. With "users upload[ing] more than 3,000 images to the site every minute," the real accomplishment would be getting back under 5 billion.
I vote we start by deleting the 5 billionth image. There's already plenty of images of that crazy building online.
GhettoMyspace.net finds the most ghetto pictures on Myspace so you don't have to.
It's a totally awesome site if you want to know what it feels like to have a gun pointed at you… or flashed in your general vicinity. Or maybe you want to see what your baby would look like with a gun on her lap?
Regardless, there's a lot to be learned here …about why people keep deleting their Myspace accounts.
Oh! And you're gonna see a lotta dat ass, too!
I wasn't, until after I visited The Revolving Internet.
At The Revolving Internet, websites rotate clockwise on your screen. It starts you at Google and — assuming you're able to click your mouse in the right spot — you can browse a constantly spinning Internet (to the fitting sounds of "The Windmills of Your Mind.")
But seriously, be careful. It's been a few minutes since I tested the site out and I am still nauseous.
The only advantage to using this site that comes to mind is that if you fire up your webcam, you can record your own puke videos while browsing the web.

I have done the best thing ever and you should too.
I've made my browser's home page www.welcometointernet.org.
Now every time I open up a browser window, I am greeted to my world wide web experience by midi trumpets and a friendly welcoming scream.
INTERNET!
Ha. Then you also like poop.
The guy who registered this domain thought he was buying "80 Shits dot com," but ironically, the blog was still supposed to be about 80s music.
Take that, Escape Club! Wild Wild West, my ass!

"The US-based owner of a satirical Wikipedia-style website may be charged under Australian law over a deliberately offensive article about Aborigines.
The Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission (HREOC) contacted Encyclopedia Dramatica owner Joseph Evers, after 20 indigenous Australians complained about the article's content. [...]
'This is an initial investigation into charging me, personally, with the violation of Australia?s Racial Discrimination Act,' Evers wrote."
He probably should have seen this coming. That Encyclopedia Dramatic has been nothing but trouble.
Just look what they have to say about Tosh.0:
"The soon to be canceled show humps the leg of the internets and sucks dry everything that btards hold dear instead of honing a skill or talent."
Ha. That's actually not a bad bit. I might have to steal that.
But the moral of the story is that the Bill of Rights only guarantees freedom of speech in America. It doesn't apply to everywhere the Internet goes. And apparently, the Internet goes to Australia now. Who knew?
Know what that means? It's time to rewrite that stoopid Bill of Rights!
Problem solved.
According to analytics service Hitwise, for the first time ever Facebook is the most visited site in the U.S., knocking longtime leader Google into the #2 spot.
This means that searching for your ex on Facebook is now bigger than searching for anything on Google. It means your "News Feed" from your Facebook friends is now more important than the RSS feeds on your iGoogle page. It means that staring at your own Facebook profile is the new "Googling your own name."
Well, I'm not sure if it means any of those things specifically. But it certainly does mean that owning stock in Google is so last week. All the big money insiders know the new path to riches is trying to sue Mark Zuckerberg for sexual harassment.
