We all have an internet story worth sharing. In My Corner of the Internet, we talk with people about the online spaces they can\u2019t get enough of, what we should save in<a href=\"https:\/\/getpocket.com\/signup?utm_medium=mozilla-websites&amp;utm_source=blog.mozilla.org&amp;utm_campaign=pocket-collections&amp;utm_content=-na\"> Pocket<\/a> to read later and what sites and forums shaped them.<br><br>With Pride celebrations taking place throughout June, we\u2019re featuring LGBTQ+ leaders this month as part of our<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/tag\/my-corner-of-the-internet\/\"> My Corner of the Internet<\/a> series. In this next installment, Joey Amato, publisher of Pride Journeys, shares his love of travel, Peloton and his nostalgia of MySpace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your favorite corner of the internet?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy reading Billboard.com to keep up with music industry news as well as CNBC.com for business and finance news. I\u2019m a stock market junkie so I love reading about financial news, especially in today\u2019s crazy market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is an internet deep dive that you can&#8217;t wait to jump back into?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like keeping up with music trends and reading up new artists and concert tours. I used to be in the music industry when I lived in New York and Nashville, so to stay connected, I check out Rolling Stone, Music Row and Pollstar almost on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the one tab on your browser you always regret closing?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon \u2013 I spend way too much money there! Say what you want about Amazon and Jeff Bezos, but he changed the world. Our lives are completely different because of this company and the convenience they provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who is an LGBTQ+ person with a very online presence that is a role model for you?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really enjoy Matty Maggiacomo who is a trainer on Peloton. He\u2019s easy on the eyes and also pushes me in every workout. I recently began subscribing to Peloton earlier this year. I don\u2019t own a Peloton bike, but I love their other workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What can you not stop talking about on the internet right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new ABBA show in London. I can\u2019t wait to attend in person. The reviews thus far have been quite incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What was the first online community you engaged with?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably MySpace\u2026.yes, I\u2019m old! It was the first time I began connecting with people who I haven\u2019t seen in a while or had an interest in. I liked being able to customize my own space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What articles and videos are in your Pocket waiting to be read\/watched right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I have been traveling a lot recently, I am behind in my financial research and launching my new site for the LGBTQ community\u2026 details coming soon! I also need to catch up on my travel writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you could create your own corner of the internet what would it look like?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would definitely be an LGBTQ related corner. I have been in the space for most of my professional career, so I feel like this is an area I can really contribute to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Joey Amato is the publisher of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pridejourneys.com\/\"><em>Pride Journeys<\/em><\/a><em>, a website dedicated to LGBTQ travel.
