Once again, it’s time to check out what’s happening over at YouTube! Ever since I started writing posts relating to the various social networks, I make it a point to visit YouTube to see what’s trending and then share a grab bag of videos every Thursday. These videos don’t follow any specific theme besides the fact I found them interesting …

I’ve said it before, never underestimate the creativity of Reddit. I was lurking around Photoshop battles yesterday when a strange looking picture of a hairless guinea pig showed up. Here’s the photo in question: Reddit user: i_love_applebees I didn’t think much of it, other than that it was pretty creepy looking. I assumed people wouldn’t do much with it, and …
