That’s right – just you, your mouse and a whole sea of hyperlinks.
That was the challenge levelled to participants of Trailblazers, a web browsing competition that recently held its inaugural contest in Stuttgart, Germany. Participants were challenged to “Surf the classic way from Amazon to Pirate Bay”.
From a chart posted on the Trailblazers site (which is designed, we’ll say, in a “neo-classical” web style), it seems as though an individual named “tobi” earned the old-school surfer crown.
The next Trailblazers competition will take place on September 3 at Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. Make sure your peripherals are regulation ahead of time. [Trailblazers via TodayandTomorrow via The Atlantic]
I managed this in just 5 clicks!! Amazon.com to Piratebay.org no cheats, no keyboard, no google.
2 clicks (helps that i have autocontext & piratebay in my search list).. is that cheating?
LOL.. I'd say so!!!!
Mine were genuine links on each page, Kevin Bacon style :) I really surprised myself actually with how easy it was, I'd thought it would be a challenge.
I guess I could really spoil the competition above by posting my method.
5 clicks. amazon>imdb>facebook>facebook home>tpb
uh i mean 4 clicks. miscounted.
how did you get to the pirate bay from facebook?
Dude, how you gonna log into your facebook without a keyboard?
cookies dude.
also, pre-posting tpb link on my front page OR profile
I would've just clicked Home, then copied and pasted letters into the search bar for google >_>
