The Internet is a busy place, and there’s so much going on in there. A lot of people ask me what I do on the Internet to keep myself entertained, so I decided to write about it with the hopes of giving you all some direction.
Sites like Digg and StumbleUpon are great when you’re looking for something quick and fun. They’re both great ways to find random and fun articles that you can link to your friends and put on twitter and what not. Sometimes it’s fun to select a channel on StumbleUpon. You can select channels such as CNN or Wikipedia and just get linked to articles on those websites.
Online gambling is always a fun thing to do. I’m an older, married man with kids and I can’t make it to Atlantic City every weekend like I would like to. I can play Blackjack, Poker, and slots all from the console of my couch. Not having to worry about the Atlantic City environment keeps the pressure off, and I tend to do much better online than in real life!
One simple thing that’s fun to do is to join a bunch of forums. Forums are areas for Internet users around the world to host discussions and conversations on boards. There are millions and millions of forums and boards on millions of different websites. I think I am a member of about 20 different forums, each corresponding to a different hobby of mine. I’m on music forums, specifically modern rock and bass guitar forums. It’s great because whenever I have a question about a new purchase about a bass or whatever, I can go online and ask. I usually get some great answers, but of course there are some real jerks on these things so be careful.
So whether you’re online gambling or just wasting some time on Digg, there’s something for everyone on the Internet. Get out there and explore!
