Seven great sites to visit if you’re bored.
Jabberwacky
Talk to an AI bot. Simple enough, open up the page, ask the bot a question and click “Say It”. The bot will answer after the page refreshes.
Turn Your Name Into a Face
Type your name in and a pixelised face will be generated based on your name. Simple, and really, really random. Can be good for a few laughs.
Keyboardr
Very similar to Google, Keyboardr is amazing in that it provides realtime searches. Basically, it searches as you type your word. So if a word started with ‘S’ as soon as you type that ‘S’ Keyboardr searces for S, and keeps searching every time you add a new letter. Very cool.
Face in a Hole
Edit your face into a wide array of readily available pictures. Handy for avatars, interesting posters for your room or just for a bit of fun.
How Many People Have Your Name
Simple enough. Enter your name and see how many people in the United States have your name.
Omegle
I’d say most of you have heard of this site. Start up a conversation online with a total stranger, which usually (in my experience) leads to hilarious consequences.
FutureMe
Type an email now to be sent to yourself in the future, on a date of your choosing. Send anything you want, make it private or public (but anonymous) and get it delivered years down the line.

Check your TITLE: the word is spelled “WEIRD”,not “WIERD.” Look it up.

@thestickman: Yeah. As is typical, I noticed that typo right after I’d submitted the article. Quite a smooth move on my behalf.
