Google Image Labeler
I had mentioned this in the original post, but couldn’t quite remember the name of the game. Recently, I found the link! So here it is. One of the most addicting online team actions provided by Google.
You team up with a second player, you’re provided with a random image and a few off-limits labels and then it’s your goal to guess the same alternative label for any given image during the time limit of 2 minutes.
This game actually has a useful background. It’s designed to improve the relevance of image search results.
FAIL Blog
Great blogs are always awesome time wasters. FAIL Blog is a prime example.
You’ll find all sorts of funny images, stories and videos that document failure. Readers can vote for each post besides leaving comments.
idaft
Daft Punk rules! And now you can annoy your friends, family or co-workers with this idaft music station. Work the buttons using your keyboards or the screen. Makes for hours of fun!
Goes right with this video here:
Now try that at home! 
Random.org
A website dedicated to randomness. Flip a coin, roll dice, play card shuffler, engage in a third-party draw (requires login), generate a Jazz scale or make a lottery quick pick – all 100% random.

Throw Paper!
The fan produces wind, the speed and direction can be seen on the paper basket, which is your target.
Can you hit the target?
Now if you just wasted too much time, maybe you’ll need some better tools to track the time you waste online. Check out Shankar’s article about 5 Tools to Track How Much Time you Waste while Online.
