So, let this list serve as a guide to websites to cure boredom and kill time. Some are old, some are new, but all of them contain a good portion of fun.
1. The Onion
Description: An oldie but a goody, The Onion is still going strong and remains one of the hippest places to hang out on the web. Known for satirical news and irreverent treatment of popular issues, The Onion might just be the funniest destination on the web. For this, it tops the list of cool websites.
2. Ning

Design your own profile questionnaire, decide what modules to include, and choose a template for your social network. Ning is a great website for organizing a group of people.
3. Pandora
Description: Created by the Music Genome Project, Pandora offers a unique Internet radio service by playing related songs not based on the likes and dislikes of other people, but based on how close together the songs are musically.
