As sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Facebook, Twitter, Plurk & MySpace infiltrate the internet - thousands of hours are wasted daily.

Thousands of teenagers flock to their computers to see who’s left them a new MySpace comment, and Tech Geeks & “newsphiles” across the globe spend countless hours using Digg & StumbleUpon to promote and bookmark the latest articles, videos, and images popping up on the internet.
