We did our blog posts on Digg.com a few weeks ago, and I wasn’t particularly enthralled with Digg. I honestly found a lot of its content underwhelming. I have since discovered Fark.com, an underground, poor man’s version of Digg, but with more entertaining (and edgy) content and a much more humorous approach. Fark has been around longer than Digg and, because of its entertaining approach, quickly developed a cult popularity. Users submit links to Drew Curtis, the owner of the site, and he sifts through them and posts the most entertaining links, complete with his humorous commentary/opinions on the content. Drew receives around 2,000 links each day, which he sifts through and narrows down. Throughout the years, Fark users (warmly referred to as “Farkers”), have developed a unique collection of vocabulary and linguistic phrases with which they comment on the posted content. Fark is its own culture, and possesses a small-to-medium-sized base of extremely loyal Farkers. Content posted to the site is commented on by Drew, tagged into a category, then torn to shreds by the Farkers. If you’re looking for a high-quality internet time waster, you’ve found it in Fark.com. The following is a list of examples of entertaining content available on Fark.com.
