I recently discovered a site called Wanelo (pronounced “wah-nee-lo,” for want, need, and love) that brings together a ton of rare and unique clothing options in one place. I’d liken this site to being a fashion aggregator, utilizing a social networking type of system to bring its users together so that they can share links of clothing and accessories from all over the Internet. The catch is quite simply this – the clothing is primarily for women.

Right after one of my last articles about online video-making communities, I got to thinking about how special effects is the big thing these days, and over time, I’ve been building my stockpile of tutorial sites to choose from. Veterans of After Effects may very well already know of these sites, but I’m sure that there are plenty of folks around here wanting to learn as much as they can.

A few of us here on MakeUseOf like Reddit, and apparently so do quite a few other people out on the Internet. Some of those people like it so much that they even create their own web apps and phone apps to use the site in much more creative ways. Once again, we have another unusual way to use Reddit, and this time, it comes in the easy-to-digest form of the Reddit Investigator.

We’ve covered Reddit quite a few times here on MakeUseOf with articles that explain how it works and what you should be reading on it. However, since it’s a constantly updating site, it seems like the only way to stay on top of things is by F5-ing every other second. But really, who would want to do that? Fortunately, Erqqvg has created a nifty little real-time visual Reddit updater.

As a video production student, I still don’t know what direction I’m going in. I don’t know if I want to make music videos, and I don’t know if I want to make documentaries. I could be doing corporate video, or I could be operating a TV camera at a football game. So when I’m feeling frantic and disoriented in life, I go to the Internet to gain insight on what people are doing with their video careers.

No longer must we use smoke signals to communicate. Long gone are the days in which we used cave walls to document events. It’s an age of technology, a time in which we are supposed to be advanced. However, even in such an advanced age, it seems as though Internet society has become incredibly lenient about a variety of very important social issues.

It’s time for the holidays, and what better way to celebrate than building a fire, grabbing a blanket, and turning on Netflix for a classic Christmas film? Sure enough, it’s a great tradition, but it’s quite possible that you know an amateur filmmaker just dying to make a similar film and is looking for a a couple of extra toys under the tree.

Sometimes even the coolest inventions in the world bring negative impacts, and although it doesn’t take away from how great these inventions are, it is our irresponsibility that puts a bad mark on them. So let’s take a look at how mobile phone culture has ruined the world.

In recent times, Reddit has been labeled as a kind of Internet cesspool – a place where only the most vile and disgusting individuals go. Granted, this may come from a general misunderstanding of how the website works, and with that being said, I can understand the confusion. Today, I’d like to give just a general overview of how Reddit works.

When it comes to social networking, sometimes reuniting with old buds does not always go so well. You may think that your original friendship will pick up right where it left off, but if doesn’t always happen – a tragedy indeed. So with that being said, let’s take a look at the four stages of social networking with old friends.

The world of blogging is an odd place, but at the same time, it’s a beautiful paradise full of free speech and a variety of personal views. Granted, it could also be considered the graffiti of the Internet, but that’s just someone else’s opinion. It seems like every blog has a theme or a running topic. However, there are a few topics that you might want to reconsider blogging about.

The Internet is a breeding ground for conspiracy, fantasy, and myths – a goblet of mystery that is filled to the brim with unanswered questions. It’s kind of like the X-Files, but instead of Skully and Mulder, there is Reddit and YouTube. However, there’s one particular creature that has perplexed me over the years, and that’s Bigfoot.

With the advent of online video, it’s never been easier to record a song, make a music video of it, and then put it out on the Internet. However, some of the stuff that makes it out there is just different. Fortunately, I’ve found four videos for you to check out that are unique, well-crafted (well, most of them are), and very interesting to watch.

In my spare time, I read a lot of wikis (I really need a more interesting life). Typically, what happens is that I’ll hear of a subject, find a wiki that covers that subject, and then I’ll end up reading the entire collection of articles for a long time. Granted, I’m sure that at least some of you do it too, so I thought I’d share some sci-fi wikis with you.

I know that in the mid-to-late 2000′s, vlogs ruled the Internet with the purest form of free speech in the world. However, even though we’re in a totally different decade, I’m pretty confident that vlogging will flourish, evolve, and improve over the next few years. Granted, it’s typically just someone talking in front of a camera, and I’m not sure how you can build on that. Maybe holograms. The answer is always holograms.
