There are many graphics design solutions available on the market today, with some being pricier than others. Personally, I don't have the money to spend on photoshop or some other expensive solution, so the GIMP cuts it for me. It also has some pretty neat features, and is really great for animations, etc... I've been able to do some pretty cool stuff with it.

Any other GIMP users here?

I found this stumbling around on the internet. It's a list of the worst websites yet for 2013. It certainly isn't the only list out there.

The internet has changed quite a bit even over the last several years. Websites once considered state of the art are now, well, falling behind Have any websites you've stumbled across worth showing us?

Social networking, without doubt, has become very popular over the past decade. It has also evolved significantly. Originally mySpace was the hit. Then facebook hit the scenes. While facebook is undoubtedly still the largest social network today, networks such as twitter and instagram are becoming increasingly popular at a rapid pace.

Personally, I love social networking. I'm active at many social networking sites, but I also see a lot of people who post the strangest status updates possible. (Do I really need to know that you are going to the store at this very moment? ) I feel that, while it could be a great tool without doubt, it can also be harmful towards real relationships. What are your thoughts on the issue?

This game is simple. Just ask a stupid question, and get a stupid answer in return. Be sure to answer the question from the previous poster as well, in addition to asking your own. I'll get use started:

Why is the sky blue?

This is a simple forum game. Simply claim control of the Enterprise from the last person who posted. I'll get use started:

I will the lottery and buy a bulldozer, then destroy the enterprise and build a new one. My enterprise!
