    Cool The Nicest Place on the Internet

    Having a bad day?

    http://thenicestplaceontheinter.net/

    Article from http://www.hlntv.com/article/2012/01...-hug?hpt=hp_t3

    Hey friend, need a hug?


    Then head on over to The Nicest Place on the Internet.


    It's a fantastic collaborative video experiment where you can get virtual, full-screen squeezes from hundreds of real people who've uploaded video of themselves hugging their webcams or video cameras.


    And the name of the site is truth in advertising at its best.


    As person after person from around the world gives you a smiling video hug, some gentle, happy music plays in the background. If there was such a thing as the opposite of a typical Internet comments thread, it would be this website.


    It's proof that the web doesn't have to just be a place to anonymously post nasty screeds or cynical product reviews. You can also anonymously post a little affection to brighten a stranger's day.


    As the site itself puts it, "Having one of those days? Yeah, been there too. And sometimes, a little pick-me-up is hard to come by. So come on by to turn the sad into happy and the happy into a celebration. Cause this is a nice place to visit on days like today."


    Bottom line: This is one of the best sites we've seen in a long time -- and whoever made it deserves a hug.

    I'm not having a bad day but I found this very amusing and cheery that I'd thought it was share worthy. This is a neat idea using the internet for something to help someone out there instead of trolling people and making weird internet jokes. If you really want to you can upload your own digital hug. I'm not going to because I'd feel a little creepy knowing my avatar is digitally hugging some stranger out there, but for the more charitable and giving here's an opportunity for you.

    well now I feel depressed about my height since most of those hugs ended with my face in someone's chest or armpit.

    Also the people who say "I love you" make me feel uncomfortable.

    Well, I haven't checked out uploading a hug to the website, but I'm guessing there is no screening process. If there isn't this site is ripe for abuse. Should that be the case, and in your case, that is very lol.

    no i have issues with pseudo-intimacy

    I dislike this website because it promotes a false sense of camaraderie.

    Also the music is way too saccharine.

    I always thought the nicest place on the internet would be free porn video sites. Just a thought.
