How to Find Interesting Places In OS.
My first post on the front page,
https://opensimworld.com/post/124641?msgSuccess=Posted, was about the OSW forums. My aim was to get people familiar with the forums and do a follow-up post advocating for the use of the General forum as a tool to (guess what) clean up the front page Box. That post will be happening soon. But one comment to the last post was that they would like to use OWS to find cool builds and things people make. So, here we go. I hope this is of use to other folks as well.
Region Reviews And Likes.
Among the event announcements and such, there are a few posts about new builds and new stuff. But one of the best places on OWS to find the best places in OS is the region reviews. New reviews are found on the bottom right of the front page, and all of a regions reviews are found on a region's own page, again at bottom left. Just bellow it, you will also see the number of "likes." Click on that to see who it was that left a like. Do you like them? Then you might like what they like. Like, this is not confusing yet, right? Also, you can find new "Likes" on the bottom left of the OSW front page.
"What Are You Looking For?"
You could ask in this group about where you can find the best builds.

Hypergrid Safari.
The best way to find interesting builds and stuff is to take part in the hypergrid tour group, Hypergrid Safari. You can find information about both future and past tours, going back 3 years, on their group page,
https://opensimworld.com/groups/1033. They have weekly trips to meet people and see places in Opensim. As the group founder and tour leader Thirza Ember says, “We party, learn, network, and crash unsuspecting grids.” You might also want to visit the Safari Clubhouse. hg.osgrid.org:80:HG Safari
Cherry Manga, one of the foremost multimedia artists and builder of interesting places and stuff in OS, said in a review, "HG Safari is the best place to learn about hypergrid, and to discover fabulous places to visit." In fact, visit Cherry's page to find a list of her regions and the regions she has liked. You could do your own tour by visiting them.

As for me, I'd like to find a region to celebrate National Pizza Month. Help anyone?
