- mitts2010, on 10/10/2007, -7/+266What about Digg?
- dbbblondon, on 10/10/2007, -9/+88So you don't have to cope with the blogspam and when it inevtably gets the digg effect
1. MyGame
http://www.mygame.com/
Create your own games and play them with just a photo and some free time
2. Fuzzwich
http://www.fuzzwich.com/minivid/minivid.php
Make hilarious cartoons with Fuzzwich’s video making machine. Complete with music, backgrounds and actors…
3. Strip Generator
http://stripgenerator.com/
Similar to Fuzzwich, strip generator gives you everything you need to make amusing cartoon strips of your very own. You can even “strip blog” which isn’t nearly as risque as it sounds.
4. Url-a-dex
http://www.urladex.com/
Fight for fame and glory by buying and selling shares of websites. Not sure if this is a ‘do something’ or ‘play something’, probably a little in between. The site uses Alexa rankings which everyone knows are somewhat arbitrary which makes it that much more realistic I suppose.
5. Duels
http://www.duels.com/
It’s like Magic the Gathering but online and very, very addictive. Approach with caution!
6. Desktop Tower Defence
http://www.handdrawngames.com/DesktopTD/game.asp
If you haven’t played DTD you may have been living under a rock. It’s so simple, yet so blindingly addictive. When you find yourself watching videos on YouTube to understand how to top score you know you’ve gone too far.
7. Kongregate
http://www.kongregate.com/
It’s the home of everything gamey, witht 1345 flash games and lots of community, kongregate is games 2.0 :-)
8. WeeWar
http://weewar.com
Designer cool meets pixel gaming. Weewar is a round based strategy game that is well wortth seeing.
9. Stackopolis
http://www.stackopolis.com/
A bizarre combination of pixel graphics, tetris and neatness won this little game a webby!
10. Mansion Impossible
http://3form.net/mansion_impossible/
Like property, but too cheap to actually buy any? … fear not with Mansion Impossible you can waste time and get rich … sorta.
11. Kottke’s List
Need More? Try Kottke’s list of addictive online games - http://www.kottke.org/06/12/addictive-little-online-games
12. Newgrounds
http://www.newgrounds.com/
The grand-daddy of Flash movies and games, newgrounds would take years to traverse properly, so there is no way you won’t find something interesting to watch (or play)
13. Trailers on Apple
http://apple.com/trailers
The only drawback to watching trailers is that when you go the cinema the ones before the movie aren’t nearly as exciting as they used to be. Still the great thing about watching trailers is they’re nice and short so you can get back to being productive again … unless of course you start watching another one.
14. Very Funny Ads
http://veryfunnyads.com/
Movies not your thing? How about rampant commercialism made good!
15. Metacafe
http://www.metacafe.com/
Tired of wading through the rubbish on YouTube? Metacafe filters so the quality is much higher meaning even more time wasted. - nublet, on 10/10/2007, -9/+66no digg?
no digg. - suxmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+56StumbleUpon FTW - that button is sooo addictive.
- pecet, on 10/10/2007, -5/+43What about Wikipedia?
- NSMike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33http://www.bash.org
- scinju, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22Everybody knows about those. These are some (not so) unknown sites for people to check out.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21No http://homestarrunner.com ??? I've lost days to that site!
- L4WL3RS34L, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Strip Generator was very misleading...
- Weebs43, on 10/10/2007, -1/+114chan sucks. It's a bland community going in no direction, besides a terrible attempt at being funny or original. I'm sorry, but "FAIL" and all the cat pictures are NOT funny after the 10,000th time. Not to mention all the other jokes people attempt to use are even lamer.
- oxymoron69, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10now come on... www.somethingawful.com
That is a site that can keep you not only occupied, but make also you laugh so ***** hard that people wonder what's wrong with you. I submit the following as an example:
from photoshop phriday http://tinyurl.com/yqbav7 , http://tinyurl.com/ysz94q (the last 3 pics)
and also http://tinyurl.com/yspbba and http://tinyurl.com/28c4cg which are some of the early cliff yablonski stuff.
Years of content are there on somethingawful... seriously, although im sure everyone already knows.
Also, http://everything2.com/ sometimes when im at work and want to occupy myself, i'll drop by Everything2
Either search for random things or go with some really nice nodes to read and write yourself as well.
Brilliant life advice as well as lots of other ***** up ***** comes outta that place.
Definately addictive if you like to read.... about everything.
i wish i could think of more at the moment, but i just got home from work and it's time for bed.
happy friday! - jamez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8how perfect that this appears friday morning... way to ruin my work day before it even starts!!
- shortarabguy, on 10/10/2007, -9/+17What about Youtube?
- mhuggins, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7This isn't blog spam, the article is written by the blog's author.
- bkeller81, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6bah! nearly all of these are blocked at my work
- Viva43, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7MAHMMMMM. BATHROOMMMMM!
- Cartman - r3adah3ad, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Seconded. No bash, no digg.
- statikuz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5http://icanhascheezburger.com/
- digichris, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6What about the site that reveals what entities edited Wikipedia entries?
- jbmercha, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Not one porn site?
- scuba7183, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6well.... you should probably already know about digg
- NSMike, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Come on dude, it's Friday. You know you weren't going to do anything anyway.
- championchap, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Dugg up, people seem to assume blog = spam now.
blogspam is when a blog links to another article with the actual story on it. Giving only a brief summary.
The purpose of such blogs is simply to generate ad revenue. Hence, spam. - RexMaxus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I had to uninstall it from Firefox at work, I wasn't getting much work done...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3For you really old school nerds, a web based version of Legend of the Red Dragon
www.cutthroatlotgd.net - Weebs43, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I normally would've dugg someone down for posting such a popular site, but I just waisted a 20 minutes alone just looking at the "I Hate You" pictures.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4www.thehun.net
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6Satire Sites: very funny if it was not true.
The White House - official website of George W. Bush
http://www.whitehouse.org/
Landover Baptist Church - where the true believers are saved.
http://www.landoverbaptist.org/ - Munkey106, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2URL tags are amazing
- joegibes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Lol... Just one more page and then I'll work on my reports... Wait this one wasn't that good, one more... One more...
Until 3 AM. - jacquesm, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3try http://rndpic.com/
warning, more addictive than crack :) - JacNet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Because time spent on Digg isn't time wasted.
- sweetcera, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2i love homestarrunner.com
- Infantrydude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Sweet Jesus stop posting addictive stuff or no productive work will ever be done!
- tech42er, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wiki-Scanner?
- MrDarkSim, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Kingdom of Loathing is a decent time waster at work. So is Digg and Fark. It's a wonder I get anything done.
- RexMaxus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Days? Is that it?
- tech42er, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2What if a blog gives commentary on an article? Is that blogspam?
- tangofish, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"http://www.duels.com/ It’s like Magic the Gathering but online"
So it's like "Magic The Gathering Online" then :p
- IllBeBack, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Just remember that the more things you do at once, the less things you will ever actually get done. People are not really great at multitasking. Higher efficiency can be had by concentrating on a single task at a time. So, basically, you are wasting your time.
- jessicass, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yes! I have been in love with the Cliff Yablonski pages for years.
- CannibalTom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I was thinking along the lines of ogrish.com and rotten.com
- IllBeBack, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2You must have never actually tried crack. It's hella addictive.
- swrlyhrly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1what about ubersite.com
- againes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://www.ClassicGamesArcade.com is great for wasting time
- Dested, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Oh man I shouldnt have clicked on that link. www.urladex.com is the craziest website ive ever seen.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1don't forget about the funny stupid pictures on http://www.hothibachi.com
- gooddoggytreat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://bash.org
- Asrrin29, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24chan used to be a real funny community with ALOT of original content, but popularity doomed it to failure. now only newfags and gaiafags are on there now, and everything is spammed a million times to make it as unfunny as possible. Oh how I wish for the days of happy negro, cockmongler and GEORGE ZIMMER. :(
