Let’s face it – this site is addicting! Some governmental organization should slap a warning label on the homepage…

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet access and a computer
  • An eHow account
  • A propensity toward addiction
  1. Step 1

    Turn Everything Into an eHow Article.
    You know you have the makings of a great addiction when everything you do becomes an eHow article. You wake up in the morning and contemplate writing an eHow article on “How to…” Turn Off an Alarm Clock. Take a Shower. Brush Your Teeth. Get Dressed. Drink Coffee…

  2. Step 2

    Refresh, Refresh, Refresh.
    Ah… the comfort of knowing that your eHow articles’ page views will be updated in just twelve hours! In the meantime, feed your addiction by compulsively checking your messages and friend requests. Go to your friends’ profiles and see if they’ve written anything new in the last, oh… 30 seconds… since you checked.

  3. Step 3

    Aspire to Greater Ranks.
    Remember when you bumped from Novice to Enthusiast? Now that you’re a Master, yearn for something more – Warrior, perhaps. Or Ninja! Or Undeniable Know-It-All. Or… Undeniable Know-It-All Ninja Warrior! Oh, yes… NOW you’ve successfully developed an eHow addiction!

Tips & Warnings
  • WARNING: eHow is extremely addictive. Great care should be taken when using eHow. Some test subjects have become addicted from the VERY FIRST use!

on 8/3/2008 Nice observations and great sense of humor. Forget MySpace... eHow rocks! Raise your hand if eHow is set as your browser homepage or one of your homepage tabs. Okay, I'll be the first to admit it! haha Or, worse yet does anyone else keep a spreadsheet for tracking your monthly stats, like page views and earnings per article and then calculate which articles have the fastest growth? Umm... me neither. ;)
