Many use the Internet for information gathering, many use it for work. But if you just want to waste time, like channel surfing until something interesting comes by, here are some sites for you to visit. In almost all, you will waste time. That's good isn't it?
StumbleUpon
Channel surf the internet with the StumbleUpon toolbar to find great websites, videos, photos and more based on your interests. StumbleUpon learns what you like and makes better recommendations. StumbleUpon is a toolbar that beds into your browser and gives you the chance to surf through thousands of excellent pages that have been stumbled upon by other web-users.
What is Fark?
Fark isn't an acronym. It's about news that isn't really news. It is a news accumulator and an edited social networking news site. The first thing you should know is that Fark.com isn't a Weblog. The slogan "It's not news, it's Fark;" says it all.
Orisinal
Orisinal has 59 online games. They allow you to play and waste time in multiple dimensions. If you want to solve the cancer, world hunger or the U.S. budget deficit problem, then go someplace else. This is a complete time waster.
New Yorker Reporting and Essays web site
Writing, blogging, politics, culture, arts, music, profiles, cartoons and much more--not less. Whether you are liberal or conservative, the writing is clear and provocative. You may spend a lot of time here--some just to get acquainted, some to waste. For a different take, the New Yorker Reporting web site will give you many hours of information. Not exactly a time waster, but a time devourer nevertheless.
Unspun
Lists, lists, lists and more lists. Who are the best baseball players on Steroids? What is the Worst Month to Plant Flowers, and what is the Most Enjoyable Television Talk Show? Unspun has lists of odd and unusual topics. They are built by consensus from users and participants. It's fun to spend time there. Oh, by the way, Barry Bonds leads the list.
Google Earth
Where is your childhood home, your grade school, Barbara Streisand's home or any number of other locations? Google Earth combines the power of Google Search with satellite imagery, maps, terrain and 3D buildings to put the world's geographic information at your fingertips. Just type in an address, press Search, and you'll zoom right in.
The Onion
If you take your news seriously, don't visit The Onion. No news is serious here; it's a great place to find out what is happening around the world by taking the anti-serious approach. It's not real but it is. Here's an example: "Modern-Day Martin Luther Nails 95 Comment Cards To IHOP Door."
Bit Torrents
If you are into file sharing, then Bit Junkie or Mini Nova have some of the largest index sites for torrents. What is a torrent? BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol used for the distribution of large files or file sharing. This is a place where you can spend and waste a lot of time looking for videos , books, anime, movies and music.
Rotten Tomatoes
Guilty Pleasure? Hmm? Reading about celebrities? Hmm? At Rotten Tomatoes you can indulge in tripe, meaningless lives. Your life is boring, so live vicariously through Matt or Jessica, or Ben or Cameron. You can get news, pictures, gossip and enjoy all the envy you can muster. And rest assured, you'll never win any important prize, Nobel or otherwise.
Craigslist
Meaningful and meaningless and important and worthless, Craigslist is the site for you. Go waste your time here, because for every meaningful item you find you can look around at all of the junk out there.
These are the 10 sites on the net to waste time on. There are many others to add to this list but that would be a waste of time.
catalogs.com
I do waste time sometimes specially when I am too lazy to do other things like household chores and I just want to surf online.
I like your list! Very helpful! I think I'll visit the Onion; it sure sounds a lot of fun!
Have a great weekend, Sera! :)
