The Web's Biggest Time Hogs
There's no question that the Internet saves us time, thanks to services such as e-mail, Google Maps and FreshDirect to name just a few. So, what are people doing with their newly found free time? They're wasting it back on the Internet playing games, browsing for movies, updating blogs and looking for love. Without further ado, here are the Web's top time sucks.
NetFlix
Arranging your NetFlix queue is sort of like preparing for your free time. You'll spend a Zen-like 15 minutes (or more) every day, looking at friends' queues, adding random movies and rating others. Then you have to chat with friends or loved ones to determine if they're feeling like a comedy, drama, or action flick for the weekend movie ritual.
The problem is that before you know it, you've spent 30 minutes browsing titles, adding new ones to your queue, and moving the more interesting ones to the top. Of course, you return to do it all over again the next day.
Are you addicted to Netflix? Check this list here and see.

...I love the internet...but I love GOD even more. Spending time w/ Him is much more enjoyable than rotting away, sitting on my butt and typing all day (which I only do about 2 hours a few days a week) But God's more important to me...and while that was random, don't reply mean comments to me...I'm 15 and I am a JesusFreak. ^^

Jossy is right, we all do spend too much time online. However instead of playing games and surfing for fun, perhaps we can use the time to help out homeless animals? Can anyone suggest sites where one can promote charity or do something constructive to help out homeless animals while at the same time satiate our addiction to the net? LOL. I've found these sites helpful:
please watch this video ! it will change the way you perceive animals:

Wheres george is an addictive websight also
www.wheresgeorge.com...............Do you ever wonder where that paper money in your pocket has been, or where it will go next? This is the place to find out.
Not is it only Web addictive ( forums ) but its addictive in Real Life. I find myself going to the Bank Every WEEK and getting $100 worth of ONE dollar BILLS to enter into the sight. I have been doing this almost a year and my Money has traveled to Iraq, Sweden, Puerto Rico and 32 of the 50 Sattes.
I am always looking to see where my Next hit is coming from....

Kudos to jossy. i am awfully addicted to the net. and it's making me sick and it's harming my life not helping it at all. it's a big porn machine and you can't really have virtual friends. too much time on my space, craigs list, google, and doing deep research it doen'st end. adopt a pet people. the net makes people fat.btw my cat is very angry w/ me.
