I love how all the proponents for this invasion of privacy conduct polls to determine how people feel about it. However the polls are of nudists and (one I saw yesterday on another blog) porn stars. Gee I wonder how they'll feel about it!!

As soon as this becomes mandatory, I will, sadly, not be able to see my family (1,200 miles away) as often as I do now, because I will not fly. I firmly do not believe that some stranger should be allowed to see me naked (essentially) just so that those less modest than myself can have the false sense of security that this measure will make us "safer." It will not.

I think it's crazy people rented the Benjamin Button movie. It sucked.

Amazing. I loved it! Makes me want to do the same!

ewwwwwwwwww

to WordyGrrl: I see your point; however, homelessness isn't relegated to just big cities. There are many middle-sized and small cities that have a homeless population and $640 will get you a small apartment.

Title of article is very misleading. How many homeless people can afford $640 a month for a coffin cubicle? If the homeless had that much money to spare, would they still be classified as homeless?

I vote to ban the word literally.

Literally, everyone uses this word to describe literally every event that's ever literally happened in their life. Literally.

Sick of it!

I see a lot of people don't like the browse by date, but Please, please don't eliminate the browse by date. I read Neatorama during down times at work and if I'm off work for a few days, I can go back and use the calendar to just check those days that I missed.

The only thing I would change is the log in. I really hate that it takes me to another page to log in, then another page to change preferences before I can click visit site. That's too many pages away and annoying. The log-in user-id and password should all be on the front page at the top (maybe in the gray section). Once logged in, have a link for account preferences for anyone who wants to change those, but instant log in should just bring up the home page.

I don't know if this is possible, but when scrolling the page, once we get past the calendar and the tags on the right hand side, the rest of the articles below that keep to the same margin as the articles adjacent to the tags and calendars which leaves half my screen white. Since I've never designed a web page, I don't know if that can be fixed.

If you really want to fancy it up, I'm big on having a more defined break between articles. Maybe highlight special or particularly "neat" articles in a colored box.

Love the UQ.

Love the site!

Haven't watched "yet". Not sure how I can after you follow the word poignant with animated animal slaughter????????

Looks like it might be a "neat" story, but I get "Video removed by the user"....???

More than 20 years ago, I was a young 21 (but looked 15; yes, sometimes it's a curse) the first time I took my car to a dealership for an oil change. Not knowing that my dad was on his way to pick me up and take me to work, the guy at the dealership rubbed his chin and explained "you know that'll be about $400?" I didn't, but said ok. I left to go wait for my dad. As we were driving out of the lot, I told him the guy said it would be about $400. I nearly went through the windshield when he slammed on the brakes, threw the car in reverse and said, "come show me who told you that." People will take advantage of whoever they think they can. Needless to say I've grown up a lot since then, and now embarrass my parents with my ability to eventually be rude when harrassed by salespeople.

Yep, I can just see it now. The one stopped is revving to go and will hit the gas the microsecond allowed. The one coming the opposite way is thinking, "one more bar...I can make it" Collisions ensue.

Personally, I'm sick to death of all the celebrity crap. I don't seek out any information on any of them. I only pay attention in a peripheral way simply for the pop culture trivia aspect for when I have game nights with my friends. Otherwise, they could all fall into a pit for all I care.

This is neat? Really?

I really like Neatorama and in particular the Upcoming Queue. The only complaint I have with that is that maybe you should check the upcoming queue as well. I've seen posts on the UQ first and then later you posted them on the actual blog and labeled the one in the UQ as a dupe (yep, happened to one of mine too). This is frustrating for those of us who find something neat and would like to contribute.

Also, when you do link a story, it would be nice if instead of just the word LINK it tells where the link is going. My office bans certain websites (sending up a red flag to the IT guys who then report me to management) for sites like cracked and i-am-bored. If your story is linked to one of those (and others like it) I wouldn’t click on it if I knew that ahead of time.
