hey guys i just thought i might share with you guys this really useful website i have found http://www.randomwebsite.com/

as you might have guessed it shows you random websites from the net. i was bored and was googling for stuff like this and came across it.

and this perl script(the link on the page) might be useful in some aspects of development : http://www.randomwebsite.com/cgi-bin/random.pl

i really like the idea of seeing random sites(and i think they don't show bad sites like x rated ones).

Pretty cool.

They have the following disclaimer on the main page:


Disclaimer: The websites you are forwarded to may contain naughty stuff.
There is no known "porn" but sites change hands often and sometimes they change ethical direction.
If you see something that looks like porn or is otherwise unacceptable let us know and we'll decide
if it should be removed or if you're just a crank who likes to complain.

Sounds interesting but not useful.

EDIT: Stumbleupon.com is safer for finding random sites AFAIK

some like me you might get so bored that you will start searching for stuff like this then you might understand how useful it is.

plus the link to the .pl file can be a useful space filler on a page you might design

sometimes you just get so bored you want to see anything but you don't know where to look or even what to look for,and sometimes you can get curious about information ,you know there is something out there but you don't know what.in these situations it might be useful.

@samw3

that site does not show random web pages it just generates random numbers.

@spade89 - sam didn't claim it would send you to random websites, he just said it was his favorite and most often used random website.
