People who spend (waste) time checking personal emails, instant messaging friends, or browsing the internet on company time are going to love Vanishd.com. The site operates as a tool to help keep your boss from catching you cyberslacking on the job.
At the click of your mouse, Vanishd will brings up a fake Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint page to cover up what you're really looking at, leaving an adjustable 'peephole' to let you view your fun content in behind. When your boss leaves the room again, you can simply click the discreet Vanishd logo in to top left corner to resume your cyberslacking when the coast is clear.
Registering for Vanishd is free, but additional features are available by subscription.
