Product Description

Product Description
From skate-boarding dogs to Arnold Schwarzenegger photoshopped into a swimsuit and sat on George Bush’s lap >>FWD This Link brings together the biggest distractions of the past decade into an addictive user-friendly Rough Guide. Rhodri Marsden, Technology columnist for the Independent and guru on the webs weirdest, shares the coolest virals and hoaxes and the funniest YouTube clips. Discover the unsuspecting internet stars, and the reason why we loved them from the Star Wars Kid to the Numa Numa guy. The guide is packed with the webs most entertaining wildlife including fainting goats and frisky donkeys. Let’s not forget the power of the email and those living to regret clicking the “send” button, only for their heart-felt love letters to be splashed across the press the next morning. Those wonderful websites that have you coming back again and again, brow-furrowing collections, online museums and shopping sites that defy belief – they’re all here to keep you amused online when you should be working. Warning: This book will not help you clear your Inbox.

4.0 out of 5 stars Never Be Bored Again!, 24 Dec 2008
By Sally Makaruk "sallymak" (Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a brilliant book ideal for procrastinating! It suggests a HUGE range of websites to visit and online videos to watch when you really should be doing something more important. You can find sites that allow you to blow up fellow jelly babies in a battle to your confectionery grave, watch drunk people falling over or even watch sand fall from the top to the bottom of your screen.

Whichever you decide to do, this book will keep you amused for hours.

Sure, I could find some of these things on the internet myself, and have previously seen a few, but I like how the book brings the amusement of the internet together in this little guide.

Overall, it's a light-hearted guide to avoiding boredom that I really enjoyed.
