Find the button on the top right labeled “Recent”.
Click that and you get what looks like the various photos most recently updated by Photobucket users. It refreshes pretty much constantly.
It’s a fascinating (mildly so, but still) glimpse into other people’s personal pictures. Find one that looks interesting and you can link to their entire album. There is every sort of photo there - drunken teens and college kids at parties, concert shots, groups of family and friends, vacation pics, pets, you name it. Some people over the last couple weeks were posting pictures they took while at the Olympics.
Even some homemade porn once in a while. I guess there isn’t a way to filter those from showing up on the “recent” posts, but whatever - there they are.
I do this to kill time once in a while. Part of me says 'feel like a slimy voyeur". But part of me says “hey, they posted these on the freaking internet, it’s fair game to look at them, right?”
Because our IT people are incredibly anal and see only in straight lines, everyone here, administrators included, are blocked from Live Journal, MySpace, Xanga and the like, so I can’t see that from here.
Minor rant: The principals raise almighty hell when they got blocked from those sites. Seems they used them as back-door sources to keep an eye on some of their students.
