Tumblersss Is Like High School And.....
a: Reddit ~
b: college
What: "Where in contrast, Reddit.com is like College. I submit my posts to Reddit and get at least a few hits, and usually get down voted and we move on. Like in college where it doesn't matter if you are popular or not, people will at least give you the chance to say what you have to say."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
