The Web's Biggest Time Hogs

The Web's Biggest Time Wasters

Craigslist

Whether you're looking for an apartment, roommate, hookup, job, car or just some used junk, you'll find that nothing beats Craigslist's endless online catalog of constantly updated classifieds.

It's no stretch to say that a person could spend 24 hours a day fishing his or her local Craigs site and never grow bored. For us, a two-minute tour of the New York site netted ads for vintage 'Star Wars' action figures, a Boston Whaler, tickets for 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien,' a pastry chef wanted and a 'clean guy' in search of a 'clean lady' to do things to that we're not allowed to print.

This season, the ABC drama 'Six Degrees' even constructed a plotline around the site's insanely popular 'Missed Connections' section, where people write ads to potential love interests they spotted out in the real world, but were too shy to approach in person.
