-Sorry for this Way off webdesign topic, think of these as "inspirational websites"-

I miss the internet a la 1997-ish, when the phrase surf meant to randomly click through websites and see what comes up. There are a few ways to do this today, still.

Here’s 3 ways of doing it, got any other links to share?

Oldschool, may contain offensive sites. No idea how long this site has been around.
http://delicious.com/recent?min=10&random=1
Awesome stuff. But it sorta kinda works more like a blog- or news-stumbler.
http://www.stumbleupon.com/toolbar/
Stumbleupon’s demo of their toolbar. Loads a random link.

I like the delicious URL that just instantly blasts you away. That could be interesting….

http://www.randomwebsite.com/cgi-bin/random.pl does that to, but for some reason it redirects to their homepage when it’s opened in a new tab/window. Try pasting it directly ::bookmark:: ;)
