It is really a shame that our society is so focused on negativity.

For news, I recommend http://tiinker.com - it learns what you find interesting and selects articles for you from news sources and blogs around the world. You don't need to fit into a tight social group for it to be good.

There is a way (I'm sure you know, but I'll tell you anyway) to check out rumours and scaremongering. It's at http://www.snopes.com/snopes.asp. I actually wrote an article about it (http://www.webupon.com/E-mail/How-to-Check-Out-Warning-Emails.63894). I do like what I see of your website, and will work my way through the articles. By the way, what's the starfish story? Todd, I agree with you entirely. There is a way (I’m sure you know, but I’ll tell you anyway) to check out rumours and scaremongering.

The popular posts I read says a little something about our society and that's scary. I, too, often see the internet being used as a gratuitous diversion as opposed to something useful. Just remember the starfish story. If your content reaches one person, it's worth it. That said, I will make sure to follow through on some of your wonderful suggestions. Keep shining your light, Todd! Yep,yep, I hear you. The popular posts I read says a little something about our society and that’s scary.
