    It sounds like they mixed us up with bebo. I guess as the Mirror, it's all they know.

    They listed 50 sites in non chronilogical order split into catagories.

    Boards.ie
    Large bulletin boards for people who have nothing better to do with their lives. Something like that.

    Nothing better to do than avoid the other time wasting activities which people engage in such as going to the coffee corner for longer breaks, taking extra long ciggy breaks, knocking off early, ...... boards people just utilise time differently.

    Oh no, wait, we are all just a bunch of nerds :mad:

    Well it is the Mirror so is Journalist really an accurate name for those that write for them? :)

    Beats reading the mirror.

    Although I suppose, the mirror does have some uses. You can wipe your arse with it if you're really stuck, and were perhaps left with only it or the Indo as options.

    This from a "journalist" that spent time (we assume) visiting 50 of those sites and applying his/her own random analysis techniques to determine the "coolest" sites.

    This hack should spend more time on the Creative Writing and Literature forums.

    1: www.irishmirror.ie

    It's probably the coolest website ever.

    Don't read the reviews - weight them!

    Boards would have been lucky to get a mention in any such random survey a year ago now we're teh talk of the law library.
