Where are all the OpenGL billboarding examples/tutorials?

We are here just like this,It really doesn't matter why.The world is here like it is,'We could laugh we could cry.Is it good or is it bad,Wright or maybe wrong?There's no use of being sad,Without a purpose within a song.

I've seen other methods for doing it but this one is really easy. Technically, you could easily just copy/paste the code on the page, but what would you learn from doing that?
