Most social media sites begin with a friendly collection of nerds, like Twitter and Reddit and Tumblr and Facebook (Harvard students, all nerds). Mlkshk is one of those weird ones, like 4chan and Dump.fm (birthplace of the Deal With It meme), that starts with chaos.
Like 4chan and Dump, mlkshk is a picture-sharing service. Not in the sophisticated way of Flickr and its cohort, but in the "throw a picture here and add it to the stream" way. You can pick people to follow, you can like photos, and you can copy photos into your stream. Or you can just watch the "Incoming!" feed (often NSFW), which just shows the fifty most recent uplaoded files.
I keep warning about the NSFW pics, but they really don't dominate. This is just a playground full of popular "funny" and "artsy" pics, jumbled together. There are webcomics and silly photos and beautiful candid shots of people you don't know. There's usually nothing deeply offensive, but there are plenty of cheeky pics.
Many of the images are snatched from Tumblr, stripped of credit and identifying info. But that's what you give up in exchange for a pure stream of "ooh look."
