Things to do online when bored

There are plenty of things to do online when bored (which is something very common for me!). Due to the huge number of things you can you can choose anything that suits your hobbies or choose something you've never done or tried before. Many of us go online or start their computer without a goal whenever they are bored or feeling a little down, simply, there is nothing else to do! So, what are some fun things to do online when you are bored?

1)Games lovers:

If you like games, the internet is your paradise! I will list just some of the games you can play online or download from the internet:

  1. Play Sudoko! try http://www.websudoku.com/
  2. Play Puzzlesm crosswords and flash games at:
    http://www.bored.com/
    addictinggames.com
    http://www.travian.com/
  3. You can play Chess and other games at Yahoo.com
  4. You can play your favourite game online in multiplayer mode: Age of Empires, Call of Duty (my favorite!) or you can spend the rest of your life playing World of War Craft (Warning: the game never ends! and it is addicting, for sure).


For me, I am addicted to call of duty 4 : modern warfare. The possibilites and games are so much to count, just try using google.com to search for "play games online", etc.

2)Watch episodes and TV shows at Hulu.com or Abc.com


3)Watch cartoon online for free.


4)Watch videos at youtube.com or other video sites:

For killing time on video sites, I suggest that you try searching for any of the following:

  • Video clips of your favorite singer/band.
  • Funny videos.
  • Music, concerts, interviews, songs, performances, dancing, etc, even the oldest and most rediculous music videos can be found on these websites.
  • Nature lovers can try "volcano eruption", "planet earth", "polar bears", "natural" or anything that comes to your mind.
  • Sports lovers.....well you don't need inspiration ;).
  • Just type in the name of your favorite artists, actor, politician, any person.
  • Funny commercials.
  • "How to" videos. From "how to tie a tie" to "how to make a website".

5)Use social bookmarkings and social networking sites.

Social networks are those which allow you to communicate with friends, family and colleages. Examples are facebook, bebo.com, etc. Social bookmarking websites are those which allow you to share websites, photos and videos with millions of users and rate and comment on each other's bookmarks. Social bookmarking sites can also be addicting because once you start surfing shared websites/bookmarks on a certain topic, we will discover numerous places on the web and you may spend hours daily surfing and stumbling upon them. Some of these are:

Stumbleupon

Del.ici.ous

Reddit

6)Clean your email or facebook inbox:

I know, no one likes to do it, but there is no better time than this! It is one of the things to on the internet when bored.

7)Read articles or blogs at some of these sites:

You can also participate and publish content in any of the above sites. You can even make some money online by writing at sites like hubpages or infobarrel, you may have something you are good at and wanna spread the word about it.

8)Sell things at eBay.

9)Learn a new language, skill or a musical instrument.

Why not invest your free time in something useful? You can learn a new language online, you can learn programming, web designing and how to play a musical instrument.

10)Experiment with search engines.

I like this one. Try to go to Yahoo.com or Google.com and start writing a sentence like this at Yahoo search for example: "The best", and a list will drop down showing common searches as suggestions: "the best man....the best life diet, the best picture". Use your imagination and you will find many interesting search suggestions to explore.

Feel free to share your own list of best things to do online when bored to death! Each of us has his own creepy boring moments when you find yourself wanna do something totally useless and enjoy it :).

Thanks for reading this far.
