Time.

If you are like me, you probably spend a minimum of 8 hours a day loitering in the virtual world.

If you don't, well, here are a few websites that will make you do otherwise.

Below is my personal list* on the three websites that I believe, makes killing time a breeze.


1) Facebook

With a community of over 800 million active users and counting, chances are you are on the bandwagon as well.

The maestro of social-networking helps you become a master at time burning by providing you with literally everything your friend says and does. Of course, the rule of  'the more the merrier' applies in terms of the amount of friends you have, as being a social introvert here renders the whole purpose of Facebook pointless.

Aside from that, Facebook has collaborated with various game production companies to provide its users with a variety of games for its user's disposal. Ranging from Texas hold-em poker to setting up your own virtual restaurant, these games help boost your time burning efficiency as well.

2) Wallbase

One of the many hidden treasures of the internet, Wallbase is a website that allows you to download and upload wallpapers of all dimensions and sizes.

You can choose to sort available wallpapers in terms of resolution and the aspect ratio of your choice, or even by category. If you have nothing better to do, click the 'Random' button and the website will display a myriad of randomly ordered wallpapers.

Browsing through the never ending amount of wallpapers can be done by simply flicking the scroll wheel of your mouse, as the website has made it extremely convenient by abolishing the use of the 'next' and 'previous' buttons. Definitely a great place to start if you're looking for a new wallpaper or a place to stare at eye candy visuals.

3) Gizmodo

Not exactly a technology-centric website per-se, but this website provides its visitors with the happenings that stray outside conventional technology (take lightsaber tie-tacks as an example). An informational website that is worth visiting solely for its content and also to make your time-wasting scheme look beneficial.

Its sister site, Lifehacker, is a site that provides you with unconventional tips and tricks that you thought have not existed to assist you in problems encountered in your day-to-day life. An eye opening site in terms of the many, many new and very interesting pointers that you will find handy. Lets take, trying to convert a soda bottle into a soda light as an example. Neat stuff, isn't it?
