INTERNET MARKETING

We're all on the internet a lot...obviously.

But, while I tell my wife I am doing work, there are times when I sneak off to www.addictinggames.com and play some games.

1 game turns into 3, then 4 hours later, I've gotten crap done with my business!

What's your secret procrastination site?

<edit> OTHER THAN THE WF! LOL

  The Warrior Forum, although quite a lot of time gets wasted each day on the BBC News site too. I'll spot one headline in my RSS reader and then find when I'm reading the article that there's a link on the page to something else that looks just as fascinating. Of course, on that page there'll be another link... bye-bye to three quarters of an hour where I've not done one profitable thing. Still, if I end up penniless at least I'll be well informed in my poverty

  Youtube.
  
  Just youtube. I'm a musician and youtube is just a goldmine of old live performances/rare footage etc. I can literally watch it for hours.
  Pretty much weened myself off it during the day now though, evenings only these days.
  
  Well mostly lol

  For me its YouTube. I swear that is the most addictive site on the internet.
  
  You watch one or two videos on one topic and it suggests more videos on similar topics and it just goes on and on. Before you know it, you have blown an hour or two.

  Mine is YouTube hands down. Though since I learn tons of valuable information there I can't really say it is a waste of time, it is more a distraction from other things I should probably be doing

  When I get distracted I browse the WF and watch youtube.
  
  To cut down on distraction I have a 2 monitor layout so I put on a show / movie from Hulu.com with my AIM instant messenger on my external monitor so I can concentrate on my work on my main monitor.
  
  I stop occasionally only for a few moments at a time (I watch Alfred Hitchcock - so there are a few times per episode that the suspense demands my attention) or to reply to some instant messages (done in batches so I don't get distracted too often)

I LOVE this site:

I usually leave the site in tears. The articles are some of the funniest I've ever read.

And of course, I spend who knows how many hours a week here:

  I don't consider the WF as procrastination. I consider it networking which is
  part of my business.
  
  My REAL procrastination site is YouTube.
  
  I have to almost force myself to stay away. That place is absolutely deadly
  to your IM health.

  Some online games at miniclip, not too often, I try
  to have discipline...
