link happy

When you are surfing the web and you keep clicking on links bouncing from page to page to page or using a search engine to find something else you stumbled upon. You eventually wind up far from where you started.

I was reading a story about Obama and somehow ended up on a page about circus clowns because I was link happy.

Link Tangent

To click on one link and to be brought to that page, only to find another interesting link on that page and end up clicking on that. This is a common thing that happens on sites like wikipedia and imdb.

Todd got on a link tangent on wikipedia by starting to read about the Spotted Owl and ended up reading about Jackie Chan.

link jumping

When you follow one url to another and another until you no longer remember what you were first searching for.

Commonly done when browsing Wikipedia for extended periods of time.

Why am I suddenly reading about Romanian heavy metal bands when i should be doing my history essay? Must have been link jumping again

Michael Weinreich is a such a link downer; he's always sending me gchat web links to some suicide or government conspiracy cover-up. Loser!

link abuser

A person that sends an excessive daily amount of hyperlinks to his buddies via instant message and/or email. Most link abusers don't have the best sense of humor and send you mindless, time-wasting crap.

Duder 1: "OMG! You have to check this out dude! So funny!"

Duder 2: "Dude fuck your links! If this is another Lolcat I'm gonna be pissed.......damn you! You're such a link abuser. You're cut off from sending me links son!"

Duder 1: "Don't lie. You love my links."
