Website Wednesday!



This week's website is Fark.com. This website has every news story you need to know and more, including some not-so-news stories, too. I have not been one to read this website much, but my husband reads it daily, sometimes more than once a day and I frequently hear bursts of laughter coming from the corner of the room when he's reading Fark. There are tabs dividing the news into categories, so if you are interested in Sports, Politics, Showbiz, Music, there are tabs just for you. There's even a tab marked Geek and we won't have a show of hands here as to who would be interested in that tab. You can also choose to see all stories displayed.

From the company's website:
The first thing you should know is that Fark.com isn't a Weblog. Fark.com, the Web site, is a news aggregator and an edited social networking news site. Every day Fark receives 2,000 or so news submissions from its readership.

What is Fark exactly? Fark is what fills space when mass media runs out of news. Fark is supposed to look like news... but it's not news. It's Fark.

Feeling bored by the every day news stories? Check out Fark...you'll definitely find stories there you won't see on your local news station.
