The Top 5 Time Wasters Online

On the Proper Use of Time

The Internet is a haven for product and productivity. Here’s how to keep your web-based career focused by avoiding these time-sucking websites.

Facebook
Oh Facebook, how we love thee. We love funny status updates and crazy memes. We love seeing baby photos of our newest cousins and our friend’s pictures from last night’s wild party. We love reading the mini soap operas of friends and family who live hundreds of miles away who we haven’t seen in years. Facebook, you’re awesome!

Drudge Report
If you’re a news junkie then chances are you know Matt Drudge and his news aggregator featuring stories that you really can’t find in one place anywhere else. Politics? Check. International news? Check. Domestic dramas? Check. Celebrity updates? Check. Oddities? Check. Drudge really does have it all.

Ebay
Whether you’re trying to find a used flute for your daughter, a vintage Gucci purse or a new Gibson Les Paul for your son, Ebay has it all. With millions shopping (and listing) victoriously every moment, you can always find something you need. And watching the last moments of a coveted item’s auction tick down is addictive.

Damn You Auto Correct
IPhone users recognize Damn You Auto Correct as the keeper of all riotous auto corrects, from the horribly inappropriate to the just flat out gross. The best part? The shocked responses are often funnier than the initial autocorrect. Because you’re only committed to reading one screen shot at a time, there’s minimal commitment. But somehow, we still wind up wasting a lot of time here. Please, DYAC, go away.

TMZ
When you absolutely, positively have to know what happened in Hollywood or New York last night, TMZ is your source. Home to news for the celebrity-obsessed, it’s the best (and worst) that pop culture has to offer. Reasonable people from attorneys to SEO services providers at the hottest Internet marketing company to educators and more admit to getting sucked in. We are powerless in the face of celeb news. We admit it.

Now, get back to work.
