A link cascade is when one is surfing the web and reads something/looks at something then, noticing a link, clicks it, reads/looks at it, notices another link, clicks it...
And the cycle continues.
And the cycle continues.

*Sees another link*:
"Paris Hilton to become president?"
*Clicks link & reads*
*Sees another link*:
"Celebs at their worst! Horrible pictures of all your favourite stars!"
*Clicks link*
2 hours later...
"Shit, it's already time for bed? That was a really bad link cascade!"

Get the pulling a linkmug. The state of mind while Link Surfing or Link Diving. This usually lasts a few hours and often happens while procrastinating or bored.
I was supposed to be writing a paper about slavery, but I went link mad and realized that, after 3 hours of surfing, I had learned more about sharks, sub-atomic particles, and the history of porn than I had about slavery.

Get the Link Madmug. The emailing or posting of internet links to others with the purpose of supporting one side of a heated argument.
Joe writes his friend, "At xyz.com/mystudyisbetterthanyours, you can see how my point has been proven and many cases show clear cause and effect."
Mary responds to Joe and begins a link war by writing back, "More thorough research done by abc.net at abc.net/ha_ourstudyhadabiggersamplesize shows that the research in the xyz.link study has been proven to be causally insignificant."

Get the link warmug. The state of being too lazy to click a link and read its associated content. The most common cause of link laziness is for one to be overwhelmed by the amount of information available on an online forum or news site. Someone who is link lazy would prefer to hover their arrow over a link title to view a brief snapshot of the content, in order to decide if the text or story is worth reading, rather than to click the link and read the whole post or article on its own page.
While skimming the news on Google, I ran across a link titled, "Mel Gibson Tells Jay Leno About His Eighth Child: 'I Guess I'm ...", and I just wasn't interested enough to read the rest of what he said. I'm so link lazy.
