Have you ever stumbled upon a website that you thought had absolutely no purpose to it? Well, you can be certain the following eleven are sure to make the list.
I would say that half these sites do not make back the cost of hosting and the website purchase, so they are operating under a loss of profit I’d imagine.
- Onecoldhand is a website dedicated to reuniting people who lose their gloves or mittens. This site is run by a student just out of college, in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. The first successful match was made just a few days before Christmas 2007.
- Mycatspace and Mydogspace are websites similar to Myspace. The only difference, the owners update a profile for their pets. A little overboard, but the pets can add friends and send messages just like a normal Myspace page. It is very similar. The webpage can even use Myspace layouts.
- Mydeathspace is a website that lists peoples Myspace accounts that have died. Kind of creepy to be looking on there because all the people on there have died recently and it makes the last few days of life actions on Myspace visible to us. It however will respect the wishes of loved ones and take a person off their site if requested.
- Blaggle is something I had no idea what I was doing. I simply entered the site and saw the word Blaggle. There are five symbols that if you click will make a rather obnoxious sound. Unless there is some code to get into a real site by clicking these, it’s pretty pointless.
- Sudftw is a website where you get the once in a lifetime opportunity to watch paint peeling from a wall on a webcam! How exciting. It is simply live feed of watching a wall nonstop. I stopped after about twenty seconds when I realized, nothing is going to happen.
- Biglongnow has a very strange way of obsessing you with a door. When you enter the site it has a doorbell ring, and you have to try to open a door. I opened it a crack and couldn’t figure it out from there. Although from what I’ve heard about it, you only get more doors.
- Webmetronome is exactly as it sounds a web metronome. You simply set the beats per second, and it will count like a normal metronome. Maybe you’d use it for music; otherwise you have about as much use for this as I do. At least when I found out that I’d opened the page and heard clicking I was sane.
- Oceangram
- Sat-gps-locate is a rather strange site. First you are asked for a phone number you would like to have tracked. So you enter a phone number and it spots it so you’re like, “hey it works!” Well after it finally uses its map to get down to where the callers house should be, you see two cartoon people in a bubble bath. Rather unique, it’s meant as a prank to send your friends though.
- Deathclock is a strange and creepy website. You enter basic information such as date of birth, weight and height, and a few other odd things and it will tell you the day and year you die. Well its authenticy is obviously fake, it does have scientific information used in the calculation. Current age, you BCI, and whether or not you smoke is plenty information to estimate somewhat close.
There are plenty of weird sites out there, help me find them. Leave comments on the strangest sites you’ve seen before as well as what you thought the point of these was.

you’ve got to be kidding!

Jared, some of these were quite funny. The one cold hand, dogspace and Sat-gps-locate all made me laugh, and the blaggle one was really frustrating. But overall, you’re right, what’s the point of all these websites?

I agree that these are pretty pointless websites. I got the door open on biglongnow easily enough though. You just have to find right direction of clicks. There is another door right behind it though and I wouldn’t have the patience to see how many there are.
Good article.

They do sound useless. Something for everybody I guess.
January 4th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
I am staying tuned to all you have to say *internet related… good to be well informed!

Well, one of the things on here does not fit your article. Deathclock.com. I’ve used deathclock, the scary part is, when my dad passed, I entered his information in the day he left and it showed up 00:00:00 time to live. Creepy, eh?
January 12th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
You really did find some seriously pointless sites, alright.
