How the Internet kills my time
This is a breakdown of how I currently waste my life on the web.
Profile sites
- Facebook: I log on at least once a day. The Facebook applications are such life-wasters, but I still love them.
- Bebo: to be honest, it’s boring. But I log on whenever I get an email notification for a new comment, etc.
Forums
- Snark: we all love Snark. How can you not love Snark? It’s one place where people actually understand what you’re talking about. (Because everyone pretty much speaks the language of gibberish.)
- Happy Mapling: lots of idiots, lots of bums, lots of fun.
Bookmarking sites
- del.icio.us: now when I search for things, I tend to look in del.icio.us first, Google second. Because the sites bookmarked by more people tend to be better, I guess.
- Digg: not so much actually, but there can be interesting articles around.
Art communities
- deviantART: always new additions, always amazing hence I always visit. I’m not quite happy that it’s usually just the popular and “well-respected” artists that clog the front-page. It’s harder to find other new but great artists.
- Skyefairy: for an art community much closer to the web circle I’m in (or was in). It covers up for the downside I pointed out for deviantART.
For most of the above, my username is wildx22. Actually, that’s my username for almost anything.
That doesn’t seem like a long list, but I sure as hell spend hours on them each day; plus the MSN, reading other sites I subscribed to and of course, recently admiring Rikkye’s new layout… I have no life because the Internet sucked it away from me.
So how does the Internet kill your time? (That’s laying the blame on the Internet, not me. 
)
