10 Sites to Visit When You've Got Time to Kill

Sites like MySpace and Facebook have given new meaning to the term “killing time.” Friend to friend messaging, picture sharing, blogging, and profile searching can take up endless hours of time when the other alternatives (school, work, etc.) just don’t seem that appealing. Throw in some email time and instant messaging on the computer and its nothing to waste a good workday playing on the internet.

At some point, these sites are bound to get tapped out and (gasp!) boring. With so many other web pages to visit, it can become overwhelming when your normal haunts just don’t cut it anymore and you need to find something else to do with your time. The following is a list of fun sites to try out next time the need to avoid doing something productive is absolutely necessary.

Instructables (www.instructables.com): Sure you can waste all your time on the internet. But why not find things that you can do to kill that time off the internet as well? The Instructables website is loaded with instructions on how to do pretty much anything. Not sure what you want to do? Browse the site to get ideas. If you have something that you’re looking for tips on, use the search feature. A filter list is there to help narrow down your choices and there’s a forum and group section where you can interact with others who are wasting time as well.

Albino Blacksheep (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/): For anyone who likes animation, this edgy and comical alternative to YouTube offers cartoon shorts that range from the strange to the outright offensive. You can also check out audio and image files and join in the site’s forum discussions to talk about your favorite clips.
