BroTips?

Recently, I was exposed to this blog on tumblr called brotips. The website for it is brotips.tumblr.com.

The website is handled by two girls and one guy and it pretty much just gives a bunch of tips for anyone, boy or girl. Some of them are funny, some of them are serious, but in the end they all are giving out a good message.

Some of them are:
            

            


and my personal favorite:


The site uses positive rhetoric to tell people to be better people, let things go, and baically live life as best you can. I personally think a lot of the advice is really good, fantastic to tell your friends. Going through the tips, I can relate to most of them, know people who should really take that advice, and laugh at the ridiculous ones, that I actually can kind of understand. They don't discriminate and mainly try to convince the audience, people reading the blog, to live life and don't let little things bother you. The site does a good job of promoting this mesage, updating five new brotips each day.

Instead of giving the usual "bro" tips which could consist of "wear you hat to the side" or "popping the collar on your shirt isn't cool", it appeals to everyone and as the person running the site said: "They're just tips for your every day life. They're tips that we'd share with our friends, our bros, hence brotips."

By promoting things that enhance life they send out a good message, rather than limiting the message to how to be cool. It's just a site that gives advice, in a funny way, that most everyone should take, most of the time at least.

  4. Interesting site. Are all tips laid out visually like that? The layout adds to the consistency of the messages.
