The internet is a huge resource and yet - - - -

13 Mar 2010

I use few main sites - this, BBC, my local village site and Facebook. That's apart from shopping sites of course.
I don't want to spend all day every day on it of course, nor do I need any more shopping sites - but I really feel I'm not getting the most out of it. A bit more variety is needed.
Do you feel you use the internet too much but also not enough?

It's a huge resource that people generally don't use to its full potential, I agree.
If they did, they'd all find me and offer me sex!

I just about match Foxy's number of sites etc although different apart from this one and only e-bay for shopping.
The problem might be that we all have other demands on our time and there just aren't enough hours in the day to utilise the Web fully.
Plim :sad:

Can I suggest this one:

you tick the general areas you are interested in, and then it offers you suitable random websites at the click of a button, you can pause and delve deeper or click to move to the next website.

Useful thanks - however there were not too many topics, for example nothing to do with sports or motoring. In any case, you might get the results from your search engine anyway if you just typed in what you were interested in e.g cooking.

A note of warning...you will find yourself at 2:00 am thinking 'just one last page I'll see what comes up' stumbling is addictive approach it with caution.

That warning came too late. My name is Ben and I am a stumbler. It has been ten minutes since my last stumble. A fascinating site courtesy of a university all about optical illusions.

I think it was designed to bring people together in sharing the same ideals. It seems to have made them more bewildered and lost amongst it all.

18 Mar 2010

I read newspapers and journals online. Here's a few of my faves:
The Huffington Post

Mother Jones

I'm not on Facebook or Bebo or any other conventional social networking site. I frequent here although that seems to be less and less these days, ANother swing site, DS, Fetlife, Skyplayer, various IT related forums, numerous blogs and if I fancy a totally random, totally anonymous, surreal chat I go to Omegle ... it's errm bizzare in the least lol :lol2:
LP you sooooo have to try Omegle!! :grin:
Sample convo, not one of mine but hilarious all the same
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You: I'm justified, and I'm ancient.
Stranger: oh sure
Stranger: just how ancient?
You: I was born out of the stars several millenia ago
You: I've got great skin though
Stranger: wow you really are ancient
You: I tend to keep indoors
Stranger: are you immortal?
Stranger: like some sort of vampire bat
You: I don't know yet - still a fair while to go till the heat death of the universe - I'll let you know if I make it to the end
Stranger: ok, you should let me know
You: I hate supermarkets though - they're evil
Stranger: yeah i know
Stranger: i have to work there
You: You know the "secret"!!!
Stranger: yes, yes i do
You: Is it true that they want to rule Denmark?
Stranger: no, not just denmark but the whole world
You: I knew it. I God damn knew it.
You: Nobody would listen though.
Stranger: we just need proof now
You: Hey you should be careful though - if they find out you are telling people you may 'lose your job'.
Stranger: no, they will never find out
Stranger: i'm a master of disguise
You: Hmmm you could be one of them. I bet you are. holy shit 'it's a trap'
You have disconnected.
:giggle:

nah, far far to sensible for the likes of me.
Though I may not be justified, I am indeed... ancient
