my tube



i like questionnaires, especially when they ask you to rate your opinions, like in "strongly agree", "mild agree" or "mmm i agree but i would rather ask my wife first". Some of them nowadays are about how long you spend on the internet, but mainly about what you are interested in, when surfing among pages. Typically you can find these answers:
1) Newsgroups
2) Chatting
3) Sending email
4) Information-seeking

Questionnaires are made to extract patterns, so choices are restricted. Therefore you will never find this option, which I add as the most dangerous one:
5) Losing time

there's dozens of choices to loose your time, instead of sending boring emails, or reading about people buying viagra on internet and then finding themselves small as berlusconi.
Since blogging is mostly sharing, here's my shared catch of today for loosing valuable time: http://www.youtube.com/. Dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions of videos, made by amateurs for everybody to see their compositions. My second catch of today is: how many will never have a TV again? or prefer to download free music/videos/amateur football/amateur theatre, instead of the bloated, commercial ones?

I don't mind loosing the latest episode of X-Men on widescreen if i can see four folks preparing and smoking the largest joint ever (40 gr!!!). A video or two after lunch are even better than coffee and cigarette!!

in italiano e poche palle: anzi tutto il tuo link a 'what's your secret" non funziona. ma ti pare? prima mi dici di commentare e poi come faccio io se non posso verificare che tutto sia apposto?
