I've lost my word verification amusement (so many have thoughtfully turned the darn thing off). So, I've had to move onto new pastures to get my 'what tha what?' kicks.
My new pasture is where weheartit grazes.
Anyone who reads the comments I often leave by my picture credits (that would be all none of you, but that's okay) will know that I have a love / hate relationship with weheartit. I love that I can quickly find some beautiful images there; I hate that there is virtually no crediting of any of those beautiful images whatsoever. I love that I can bookmark my faves; I hate that I can't search through my faves. I love that it's like a trip down teenage lane as I wade through all the images of gorgeous girls doing fun things that ordinary girls sitting on their beds at home have bookmarked; I hate that I also have to wade through 27,000 Bieber images, especially ones that have added statements like 'Always remember where you came from and always remember to remain humble* - Justin Bieber, 2011'. (And, for an even funnier Bieber moment, do check out 'Enhanced Bieber'.)
But what amuses me about weheartit is that they appear to have the worst Search-Matching in the entire webisphere. 'Search-Matching' is my own technical term, I don't know what it's actually called. It's where a program uses complicated logirhythms to decide what you might like based on preferences you've shown before. It's why iTunes Genius seems to think my sister would be into Jason Donovan.
So, the weheartit Search-Match clearly needs even more complicated logirhythms. When viewing sweet little images that I found by searching for 'Thank you', weheartit thoughtfully added a 'Similar Images' box. It listed an image of a lion devouring a wildebeest, an image of a woman checking out her non-existent butt in a mirror and an image of a note that said 'So Cry Me A Fucking River, Bitch'.
What tha what?
So, weheartit, I'm climbing more and more out of love with you every day. Seriously, dude, you've got to try harder if you want to keep me coming back for more. I'm complicated like that.
Do you use weheartit or similar photo-bookmarking sites? Do you enjoy scrolling aimlessly through pictures like I do? And what kind of music does iTunes recommend for you?
* I may be paraphrasing here. He may have said something else like 'If me and my girlfriend were fighting, and it got to the point where she started crying, I would just shut up and hold her.' - Justin Bieber, 2011.
