In today’s world where everyone has something to say and show the internet can never actually be a bore. When you can’t think of a link to click. Here are some places you can check out:
Be like us!
At www.clippings.com you can actually fabricate your own news stores and send it to your friends. Because the clippings look like they’ve just been cut out of a newspaper, the website is perfect for playing pranks. This site is recommended for degenerate liars, pranksters and anyone interested in journalism. Creating a major scandal was never easier than this. But please use the site with caution and understand the implications what you write can have. Trust us-the consequences can be pretty harsh!
Instant messaging instantly!
Suddenly realizing that your estranged companion has finally logged in to his/her Yahoo! Messaging Account is fun, realizing the computer you’re using doesn’t have Yahoo! is not. Hence, www.meebo.com exists to solve these small messaging nightmares. Meebo allows you to sign in to any of your famous instant messaging accounts (such as MSN, AOL or Yahoo!) through their browser window. No need to panic about not having nay of these big programs in your computer, now logging in just requires typing “meebo”.
Stumble on it!
A website fast catching on is www.stumbleupon .com. It makes great recommendations to users who download their toolbar and surf the net. Stumbleupon is a site that takes internet exploring to a new level, as it provides users with good choices from new websites that people have surfed through and added in their archives. Basically, stumbleupon is an online catalogue of websites that other people thought were worth seeing. The downloadable toolbar helps people with similar web interests connect, share and communicate as well. Just log-in and download the toolbar!
For the utterly bored!
The website www.bored.com is anything but what its name suggests. This website provides cool and easy things to do to pass time without feeling bored. There are fun games like warping celebrity photos, reading Charlie Brown comic strips and also links to other interesting sites like www.shockarcade.com, which has a plethora of free online video games for you to try. OK, granted that most of the things you’ll do at this site will be pretty useless, but the internet is not just a selling and advertising tool that you have to use for something productive. Sometimes we need to learn to have fun, and bored.com is a good place to look for it.
The End
It’s a single page. There are no links, no graphics, no color, no flashy banners, no advertisements, no downloads and no fancy technological creativity involved. It is neither important nor useless. It is neither true nor false. It feels nostalgic, yet it foretells the future. It is fast and easy to load, it is fast and easy to understand and it is fast and easy to let go. Unlike any other website in the world, it doesn’t have anything to tell us, but yet, in a way, it surmises the fate of the internet itself. It can frighten and fascinate you; it can make you laugh but still fill you with caution. It requires, above all, no introduction. Interested? Try www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm. trust us, you might just need this one day.
