That may be true, but they have also revolutionized how much time can be wasted in a day. See for yourself, but don't blame me if you get nothing done for the next week.

  • scorpy01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I won't digg because I hate the way About.com opens links in their own frames. Maybe it's just me.

  • misterpony, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the fighting over the letters on the letter spellers is hilarious. someone keeps writing digg and others keep stealing the letters!
  • MrC539, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The best time waster is watching that pitch drop...but this is pretty good too.

  • seattle98104, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0samarost was lame it was only like 10minutes long.
  • gwax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No http://uncyclopedia.org/ no digg.
  • invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0no crypt raider? personally, i think that should top the list.. i didn't recognize all the ones in that list, but i remember the subservient chicken from 2-3 years ago.. thought it was lame then, and still do.

    there were a few others that i think should be on the list, but i'm a little too distracted at the moment to remember them

  • aaronthemonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0samorost and falling sand were the only two i looked at and they are great. but how about "when i am king"? one of the best online comic books that i've EVER seen and it lasts longer than ten minutes.
  • GliliumHkY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the sand falling game was really COOL!!! n fun, sand falling, water makes the plant grows, oil makes the fire stronger, THE FIRE BURNS THE PLANT!!!!...
  • TurdFergeson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awesome... i think i'll quote one of the few english comments from the original sand page:

    "this game beats sucking a dick. Or getting a 12 and a 14 double in your ass."
  • SystemError, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I will have to say Sand is on there but not the #1 (I have it open now but am not playing it)

    I did not see Myspace listed. that should be on there for sure.

  • dodonoodles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0all web 2.0 sites...
  • CaptainTylor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Some of these sites are fun, but I have a real problem with about.com putting the linked sites into frames and putting their (about.com's) advertising over the top of other peoples' work.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the chicken gameis just a very smart AI i think...
    Open it in two tabs and tell it something to do in one tab. It wont appear in the other one pshhhh
