I originally <a title=\"started PicoCool in September 2007\" href=\"http:\/\/www.emilychang.com\/go\/weblog\/comments\/picocool-cool-content-from-real-people\/\">started PicoCool in September 2007<\/a> as a side blog where I could indulge in my passion for finding unique, and often obscure bytes of content from social networks and peer media. After doing that for a little over a year, I really wanted to open the site up to the community.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than being a blog where I post my finds, PicoCool is now a global community dedicated to uncovering &#8220;the cool.&#8221; As a member, you can contribute your own discoveries within art, architecture, design, culture, environment and science, technology, fashion, travel, and lifestyles. You can also vote on items, &#8220;friend&#8221; other members, and post comments.<\/p>\n<p>JOIN US<br \/>\nWhile PicoCool is invite-only, you can join us by simply <a href=\"http:\/\/picocool.com\/request_invite.html\">requesting an invite<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>GET UPDATES<br \/>\nFollow <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/picocool\">PicoCool on Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Get the PicoCool Popular Items RSS feed:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/picocool\">http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/picocool<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Get the PicoCool Recent Items RSS feed:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/picocool\">http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/picocool\/recent\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or the PicoCool Blog RSS feed:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/picocoolblog\">http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/picocoolblog<\/a><\/p>\n<p>FEEDBACK<br \/>\nPlease <a href=\"http:\/\/picocool.com\/contact.html\">contact me<\/a> if you have any questions, comments, ideas or opportunities.
