Wilfing Aka “What Was I Looking For?” Do you spend time at work randomly surfing your time away? How often do you chat on ping.sg’s shoutbox instead of working. I know I work about 1 min to every 10 min surfing when I do my school work. haha.

Are you surfing away your life on random searches?

One in four internet users spends nearly a third of internet time Wilfing — equivalent to spending an entire working day a fortnight randomly browsing the net.

Men are much more likely to be Wilfers than women… …One in five men was “distracted” from work or study by adult entertainment or sex websites.

“Our study shows that although people log on with a purpose, they are now being offered so much choice and online distraction that many forget what they are there for, and spend hours aimlessly Wilfing instead.

Whenever I switch on my laptop to start work, it’d be another hour of random surfing and reading feed updates before I actually do anything.
