Now I don’t necessarily advocate web surfing in the workplace, but there’s always an argument to be made that a well-informed worker is an efficient worker… or something like that. Let’s face it, we all do it to some extent, whether it’s checking your Gmail, sharing YouTube vids, or quickly scanning some news headlines, the web is a forbidden fruit that we all indulge in at one time or another. It’s the equivalent of the mythical water cooler, but available 8 hours a day, at your fingertips.

So let’s just say, hypothetically speaking, that you wanted to covertly monitor some of your favourite websites throughout the day without fear of reprisal. Well, just head on over to workfriendly.net and enter in a URL, to see that site pop-up in a window that emulates the look and feel of a Microsoft Word document! Now you can read all your favourite blogs and still look like you’re doing something productive. Genius.
