Last Saturday marked the National Day of Unplugging, a time to put the phone (or tablet or laptop) down and live life away from the virtual. Easier said than done, right? After weekdays spent multitasking from one screen to another, spending idle minutes in line for coffee on a Saturday without a quick glance at Instagram can feel like withdrawal.

From purposefully leaving the phone at home while taking on the outside world to a group of friends all surrendering their phones in the middle of the table at dinner, we've found that going technology free is a goal that requires a support system. After all, it's not easy to ditch the habit when everyone else in your social group is still tweeting the weekend away.

So, have you teamed up with a partner or friend to keep the digital tools under lock and key at some point during the weekend? Share your stories in the comments!

Website of the Day: Internet Conga Line

ChatRoulette, you ain't got nothing on today's website of the day!

ChatRoulette, you ain't got nothing on today's website of the day! I'm cracking up over Internet Conga Line, a ChatRoulette-esque site that aims to "unite the Internet" under a fun, conga-line theme.

The founder of the site, a British entrepreneur, believes, "it’s a fundamentally different experience to meet people in groups.” Thus, Internet Conga Line theoretically cuts down the amount of . . . undesirable images that have been making their way onto ChatRoulette.

To use the site, you only need a webcam and Internet connection, and once you're on, you can publicly or privately message anyone who ends up in your conga line. I can't say with certainty that it'll diminish the amount of Internet voyeurs, but it's a great idea.
