Word For Today: "Wilfing"

The story itself is fairly obvious: lots of Web users waste lots of time surfing the Net.

The part that interested me, though, was that it uses a new - or at least new to me - word: Wilfing, or "What Was I Looking For." The idea is that people start surfing with a purpose, but quickly become distracted and begin wandering the Net aimlessly.

Hence, wilfing.

I'm going to try to use the word in general conversation, since I get distracted all the time...
