Wonderful Things

Mahangu is launching a local BoingBoing of sorts, a collection of wonderful things. The site is called LataPata and it should enable you to double the time you’re wasting at work. There are a couple authors (including myself) submitting links to random, interesting things around the web. My submissions so far include a link to MC Hammer’s blog, mathematicians in sarongs and the Pakistani blog shutdown. I spend a lot of time on Slate, Metafilter and Digg, so there’s no shortage of random links. Everyone else has their own sources, so there should be frequent updates of local and international junk.
That’s all. Go there. I’m sure the site can use feedback as well.
yo, everyone’s gotta go look at mathematicians in sarongs. that is effing hilarious. americans are the funniest people in the world, hands down, not even trying.
I spend a lot of time on Slate, Metafilter and Digg,
so this is a random metasite of metasites ? :-)
Looks great.
on the down side ,there is the possiblity of latapata flooding kottu,replacing original contents from the first page.
good point chandre. i had to click down to kottu page 3 to see the entry for this post (posted less than 24 hrs ago) and it was on 1st page when i posted my commet above.
don’t take this the wrong way but talking about metasites do we need posts about posts in slashdot (of all places!) about articles in other sites? :-)
anyway i love kottu and you have done a great job so it’s your call. i for one will always click down.
point, i stuck it in the sidebar
This looks a little like the garage sale my parents had at their house last summer.
