Garrett SaundrySo this is what you’ve all been waiting for, the superfun fantastic happy edition of Webnames Favourite Websites. If you’re looking to waste some time or just need a good chuckle you’ll be sure to find it here.
These two sites can either be looked at as reference or as fun depending on how you use them. They’re both very similar, so it really depends on your own personal preference. YouTube and vimeo both have thousands of videos posted on them, you can see everything from quacking dogs to university lectures. It constantly amazes me just what sort of thing you can find online these days. I am Bored is also a good site to check out to get a look at the really stupid things people video themselves doing.
If you’re looking for your daily fix of news and headlines, you’ll want to check out either Digg or fark. They’re both essentially the same, according to Farkers their site is like Digg, only better and if you ask the Diggers their site is like fark, only smarter. Either site should get you your fill of interesting and bizarre headlines currently circulating on the interwebs.
If you’re looking for funny and cute, we have to mention Lolcats. They brought you such internet meme’s as the lolrus and hovercat. Not far behind would be FailBlog, which is a site devoted to videos and pictures of epic fail, such as this one.
Last but not least I think would be StumbleUpon, which is actually more of a program than a site itself. You just tell it what sort of things you are interested in, click on a button and it will serve you up another website that suits your interests. Many a night I’ve stayed up mindlessley clicking and saying to myself “just one more stumble…”.

Kongregate.com has tons of awesome free web games, with achievements like Xbox 360 games. Plus the achievements are persistent to your account, so you can compete against friends
Post Secret I love this site, people send in anonymous secrets on postcards which are then posted onto the internet. They range from funny and bizarre to really life shattering events such as abuse and suicide.
