1000 Awesome Things
This was on my short list for week #1 and I think this is what I'm going to write about for this week's Spartan Reader post. I was browsing through the articles on www.ted.com when I happened to come across this website. Neil Pasricha, the creator of the site has been posting every weekday since June of 2008, one awesome thing that happens everyday. As of February 6, 2012 he has already posted 946 awesome things in his life and has only 54 more posts to go until he reaches the goal of 1000 posts. The list is hilarious.
My friend told me about this website one day last week and I already feel like it's going to be the next new tumblr. People from around the world add posts to their virtual pin boards and not only do they posts the things they love, they can also comment on the other posts that fascinate them. You just feel connected with the rest of the world when your on pinterest and who knows, it might be the new facebook.

Everyone probably already has a dream Europe vacation planned out but if you don't, this is the place for you. From hotels and restaurants to famous attractions this website could help anyone plan their fantasy vacation. You don't have to look up every destination because the tools on this website do it for you. They tell you how many stars the place has and even lists average costs, anything you would need to know to plan a vacation. I planned my future Europe tour trip with the help from viamichelin and the descriptions of all the locations really made it a fun experience.
The last post would be very interesting.x
ReplyDeletehi, I'm sitting next to you right now and I like the idea of the first topic! You could write so much on this topic because it is about things!!!!!ok bye!
ReplyDeleteThe website 1000 awesome things is a fascinating website and, in my opinion, one of the best choices for a post. While describing the content of a certain post, personal connections can be made and an appreciation for the small things in life can develop. Through observations on the setup, content, style, and diction of the website you develop inferences about the author or mankind as a whole.
ReplyDeleteI like the Pinterest idea, too. You could describe the site in general, drawing general observations about the types of collections people gather on their pinterest "boards" or focus on an individual's pinterest, make it more of a characterization piece, drawing some conclusions about what their site says about them, or the tone exuded by it
ReplyDeleteI like your first choice! I think i'll check it out right now!
