CamWorld has Links
1999-01-13 19:22:00
So, I must say, "Ooh Ma Ma, there are a fuckload of links to links to links to links web sites out there now." And the reason I must say it is that it's true! And CamWorld is one of them.
Some people call them slashdot-style sites, some call them CHEK OUT MY LISTT OF KEWL LINKS!!!1!! sites. Whatever you call these things -- lists and lists of frequently-updated links to other people's crap -- you have to admit they're growing like a fleshy fungus. Hell, in some ways, Pigdog is one of them! (But in most ways, not.)
We're gonna try and cover as many of these sites as we can in the "Links to Links to..." category of Pigdog articles. Hell, this genre is ripe to be taken to the NEXT LEVEL, and you know that's what we do here at Pigdog.
Anyways, CamWorld. I would call this a memepool-style link-o-rama site: cryptic one-sentence blurbs about freak-o glossy "New Media"-style links, low production values, no flashy crap. Just pretty fair links. Hell, this is what the Web is all about, isn't it?
Cam linked to Pigdog, so I figure we should return the favor. There's dark feedback-loop implications, I know, but what the fuck. Gotta start somewhere.
I give CamWorld a B+, but that's just because I just started grading so I don't have much comparison to go on. If you can't get ENOUGH of that fucking A tag, and you want ANOTHER links to links to links to links site to diddle around with, go check out CamWorld, eh?

SF Hippies Can't Get Their Act Together
The annual 420 Hippie Hill event in Golden Gate Park, where large crowds of hippies, wannabe hippies, and hippie poseurs drape themselves in tie dye t-shirts and gather on a hill on 4/20 to smoke weed, was cancelled this year because the organizers couldn't get their act together. (More...)
