‘The Useless Web’ Catalogs Time-Wasting Greatness
December 4, 2012
Commentary by Stephen Downes
Just because: "Somewhere in parallel universe the web consists entirely of totally useful, boring applications and websites. Fortunately we don’t live in that universe, which is why we have The Useless Web (potentially NSFW), a collection of the web’s most useless pages." Note that some of these sites will play loud noises, bog down your computer, and generally disrupt things.
