Fritterware.com Brings Wasting Time to a Whole New Level
Washington, DC, October 24, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Bored? Itching for fun? Feel like wasting time? Bosses beware: Fritterware.com is a Digg-like system, based on the Pligg content-management-system, for computer users who love to fritter their time away playing free web-based or downloadable games.
Fritterware, the term, describes anything that eats huge amounts of time for quite marginal gains in function but seduces people into using it anyway.
Studies show that workers waste 2-3 hours per day on non-work related activities. Fritterware seeks to help them fill these 2-3 hours in a more efficient way. A Google search for “computer games” returns 18.6 million results. Needless to say that numbers are staggering and the scope of online gaming can be overwhelming.
Fritterware employs Web 2.0 technology to use collective community knowledge to help both casual and serious gamers find and discuss free computer games. At Fritterware, users can submit links to their favorite games and others can vote for that game and leave comments. The essence of Fritterware is to share and evaluate free games linked directly to their access page. This allows users to find easily “hot” new games and see which games have the most user generated votes historically. All games are broken down into a variety of categories including: Arcade, Bored, Classic, Puzzle, Strategy, and more.
Fritterware joins a long list of similar sites like: Digg, Del.icio.us, Furl, and others that employ collective suggestions, votes, comments, and tags to help users navigate the web.
