Ok, usually this site I write about some pretty nerdy stuff about Gentoo Linux. Mainly ‘issues’ and how I resolved them. But with today’s sponsored post I get to write about a site that is nerdy AND funny. When I say “funny”, I mean funny cool, not funny odd.

The site is Desk Shot (http://www.deskshot.com). Desk Shot is a great example of a web 2.0 community driven web site where users can brag about what’s on their desk. Here is the perfect opportunity for a super nerd to show off his transparent case, liquid cooled CPUs, dual monitor system and Dilbert stress toy to the world. The ones that gave me a open chuckle were the submissions of the opposite. I loved the guys that showed off their single monitor work station and bragging it up (obviously sarcasm, but made me laugh).

As with web 2.0 sites, you can comment and tag images. You can tag by clicking within the image and adding a ‘tag’. A tag can be a description of the item within the picture. They showcase images with high number of comments and tags.

I think the concept is clever and something fun. Another item for me to waste a few minutes of my day on, but I desperately enjoy the distractions.
