Surfing at Random [Morning coffee]

  • -Sorry for this Way off webdesign topic, think of these as "inspirational websites"-

    I miss the internet a la 1997-ish, when the phrase surf meant to randomly click through websites and see what comes up. There are a few ways to do this today, still.

    Here's 3 ways of doing it, got any other links to share?

    http://www.randomwebsite.com/cgi-bin/random.pl
    Oldschool, may contain offensive sites. No idea how long this site has been around.
    http://delicious.com/recent?min=10&random=1
    Awesome stuff. But it sorta kinda works more like a blog- or news-stumbler.
    http://www.stumbleupon.com/toolbar/
    Stumbleupon's demo of their toolbar. Loads a random link.
  • I like the delicious URL that just instantly blasts you away. That could be interesting....

    http://www.randomwebsite.com/cgi-bin/random.pl does that to, but for some reason it redirects to their homepage when it's opened in a new tab/window. Try pasting it directly ::bookmark:: ;)
