Staying Unproductive Online (while not at work of course)
Have you ever caught yourself blankly staring at the computer monitor wondering what to do or where to go next? If your anything like me (whether that’s a good or bad thing is yet to be determined) then you probably find yourself in this position quite frequently. Scratch that, you may have found yourself into this position until NOW, because I am going to share with you some of the greatest time-wasters the Internet has to offer.
wimp.com
Don’t be fooled by this one folks! This seemingly boring, dull, grey, web 1.0 looking site packs a heavy punch. Wimp has been bringing viewers the best Internet videos since its creation in 1996. Wimp adds new videos at the beginning of every day; some fresh to hit the web as well as some that have been around for years that you can’t believe you have never seen. Wimp always stays ripe with the freshest videos from across the web, and to top things off they are now on twitter. Follow them @wimpcom and get updates straight to your mobile phone.
