Internet has become a very attractive destination even for non geeky persons after the evolution of web 2.0.Most of internet users can be divided among three categories first are those which access internet only for their work,they have definite scope of site over internet and rarely access sites out of their scope,second category is of those people who spend most of the time on internet for their work and remaining time is just consumed by just for fun purpose sites and third group belongs to those who spend very little time of their internet access to work and most part of that time is just for fun over net.
So a major portion of internet users spend lot of time on internet without any usefull work on it.Do you ever thought which internet sites consumes most of their time.We have a analysis over this issue and here is our report.Here are the top 5 internet addiction.
1.Youtube
In my opinion, YouTube is like some addiction. Once you get addicted to YouTube, it is very difficult for you to look on other websites. As a result, it has become world’s no. 3 website in terms of user traffic. You can find almost every video on YouTube. It is king of piracy. Almost 80% of the videos on YouTube are pirated. Even you can watch complete movies on YouTube on the same day of its release. Its bandwidth costs are estimated at approximately $1 million a day. It has millions of videos featuring latest albums, cricket and other matches, news channel videos, cartoons, scandals etc. A few days before, I read somewhere that people in US are prefer to use YouTube on Television.But there other video sharing sites which perform the same task but their impact is less.
2.Myspace
Everyday 230,000 new registrations take place on MySpace. It is haven for gossips, photos, blogs and malicious comments. It is banned in almost every schools, businesses, offices and libraries. But people make use of web proxies and fake browsers in order to log in to the site. If you count the number of blogs on MySpace.com then believe me it has more number of blogs as compared to blogs on blogger, wordpress and others taken together. It is also spoiling young generation by allowing them to create obscene profiles. For several hours, people browse through MySpace profiles just to see photos. So MySpace is the biggest time killers on internet. I would like to add Orkut and FaceBook to this list also. But they are more or less just like MySpace, so I am not giving separate description for them.
3.Google earth
Google Earth is a virtual globe program which maps the earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite imagery, aerial photography and GIS 3D globe. I remember the day when I found Google Earth first time on internet and I started searching my home in google earth. After this I visited almost every place through Google Earth which I knew at that time. You will feel great pleasure while identifying known places on Google Earth. You will think some magic is going on and you are in heavens.But it consumes a lot of time.
4.Digg
This is some kind of geeky material.Digg is the most popular social bookmarking website. It allows its registered users to share content from anywhere on the Internet, by submitting links and stories, and voting and commenting on submitted links and stories. Voting stories up and down is the site’s cornerstone function, respectively called digging and burying. Thousand of stories get submitted every day, but only the most digged ones appear on the front page of Digg. Almost every blogger has a dream, that is to make his or her article on the front page of Digg. But it is very difficult. Still webmasters and bloggers try their level best to do so. They spend many hours on Digg to analyse the nature of articles which are most digged and commented. There are many Digg type websites on Internet like del.icio.us, reddit, stumbleupon, mixx, yahoo buzz. But noone is as addictive as Digg.
5.Flickr
Flickr is the most popular image and video hosting website. Here users can share their personal photographs. Flickr is used by widely by webmasters and bloggers as a photo repository. This is a big warehouse of photos. Here you will find millions of photos from wide variety of cultures, nations, traditions. People from all over the world have photos uploaded there. Even professional photographers love to share their photos on Flickr. No doubt, it is the most addictive photo website of the world.
This is just a common idea about the most time consuming and addicting sites.People may have different choice.Some of them might go for wallpaper,MP3 downloaing, wikipedia,yahoo answers,Google reader,news sites etc.You can share them with us by writing them in comments.
