A Web Surfing Contest for keyboard warriors, with no keyboard and no uncle Google.

Ok, you’ve been surfing the net for the past 10 years, and you called yourself the keyboard warrior. What if someone took away your keyboard, and closed down Google search engine. How are you going to get from Amazon to the Pirate Bay solely pending on your mouse click from links to links?

That was the trial steamrolled to contestants of Trailblazers, a web browsing competition that recently held its inaugural challenge in Stuttgart, Germany. Participants were challenged to “Surf the classic way from amazon to pirate bay.” The next Trailblazers competition will take place on September 3 at Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria if you think you got what it takes.

    During Trailblazers you are not allowed to use copy/paste. This is done by using Apple mouses that don’t have a right mouse button. Plus the moderator is constantly checking if anybody is cheating.

    The competition is about the structure of the web, no fancy tricks allowed.
