Kill boredom

"Necessity is the mother of invention" - so goes a saying. Must be true or else the world would not have got so many wonderful inventions. Internet is one such invention which not only kills boredom but also provides a sea of opportunities to learn,earn,network...

When pushed into a sea of boredom, many of us try to explore ways to get out of it. Volunteering, reading, music, gaming, etc etc. Or some of us might end up in internet networking sites. Networking sites are available today in different forms - social networks like orkut, myspace, facebook, professional networks like linkedin, other sites like Shelfari where people share their hobbies, sites like twitter where you let people know what you are upto. Then we slowly move on exploring other arenas. Some hit up with Swagbucks; an upcoming search engine which rewards for your searches. Interesting! With 50,000 fans in facebook, 20000 followers in twitter and much more, the engine is progressing everyday. There are also lot many sites like irazoo which are equally good in rewarding searches.

Another field which pays is online surveys. There are lot of sites like surveyhead, greenfield online,etc which pay for the surveys we take or for clicking the ads displayed on the sites. These rewards may be peanuts but something is always better than nothing...so if you have lot of free time, just give a try .
