Popjam: Digg of Twitter for Comedy, jokes, and funny things.

I’m a big fan of comedy websites especially in times of stress, and one problem I do find most Comedy websites have is the amount of content that they have. Most of the contents you’ve already viewed ages ago and the new ones are just a few. Then I found PopJam and one that will change the content updating in the comedy website field. In a nutshell, PopJam allows users to post (text, video and pictures) what they think are funny and share it with the whole world. What’s interesting about it…

… is the similarity to twitter, where contents are shared in twitter-like format and can be updated as much as you want. There are also follow feature to follow friends or people who post great content. There’s also a voting function called LOL, where the more the LOL the higher they go up the website. The team is composed of the man behind the million dollar homepage, Alex Tew, and Mike Halls-Moore.

Contents are generally clean and it’s up to the community to flag down unappropriate contents. User’s can also comment on a post to discuss with the community. You earn more points as you do more interaction with the website, where the top users are posted on the comunity page, and points gives certain levels (status) to users on the website.

Overall, it’s great fun to be on the website. The more content generated, the more interesting it will be as the more you’re inclined to visit the website more often for updates. This just shows what the capabilities of Twitter is, and I believe more powerful and innovative features are going to come out soon thanks to Twitter.
