Do you like this post?

Do you want a news related social networking site where you get to choose what news you want others to read? Then Fark is definitely the site for you. Fark has been described as a news aggregator site where registered users submit links about the latest happenings all around the world. Well, you may get this information on the website of any reputed newspaper or media company. However, what makes Fark totally different is the fact that users can come up with their own whacky headlines and also comment on the latest news as it happens. Fark has established its reputation by claming it is anything but news. It does not restrict itself to the mainstream news which ranges from the predictable to the downright boring. Rather, Fark brings you the real stuff happening around the world along with immediate responses of all the users of the website.

The reputation of Fark has resulted in reputed news websites using Fark’s content for its daily quota of humorous news.

The links submitted by farkers, members of the sit, have to be approved by administrators before they find a mention on the site. Once the information is posted, it is open for all visitors of the website to comment on the same. One of the biggest advantages of Fark is the fact that it invites comments from a wide cross section of the surfers of the World Wide Web. Comments are always frank and often irreverent. However, more often than not, it is possible to discern the consensual opinion out of the entire discussion. Fark is completely free although a paid for version offering additional benefits is also available. However, a registered user can enjoy all the benefits of the site without having to pay a single cent. You can read all types of news- from the funniest to the most serious take on current issues and express your views freely and frankly. One thing that all farkers love is a good fight on a hot and controversial topic.

The popularity of fark can be estimated from the fact that more than 2500 links are submitted to the website by surfers on a daily basis. The essence of fark is to thumb its nose on the traditional and supposedly serious sources of news which come up with the weirdest stories to ensure it lives up to its 24×7 billing. Fark has absolutely no pretensions as to the type of news and content it provides. Strangely, this is what enhances the value and appeal of the website. Fred Showker has this to say about fark- “a totally irreverent, totally popular and active web site where fun is poked at about everything.”

Since it is completely free and links from all over the world are accepted, serious issues that were ignored by the traditional news agencies often gets a mention and also becomes a topic of serious discussion on fark. Slowly and steadily, it has become a one stop source for those who want not just the latest happenings but also want to know what the world thinks and feels about it.

Popular links submitted from small websites has often led to a huge rush of visitors from fark thereby leading to a system crash. ‘You have been farked’ is often used to describe such a sudden surge in traffic.
