Web browsing competition: Surfing the web without using keyboards

Share
Google has made a huge impact on the lives of web surfers. With the best search engine by our side, all the information that the internet hold is within our grasp. It even gave birth to the term "googling", which generally means searching for something using google. 

Surfing the web without search engines is like finding a book in the U.S. Library of Congress (Biggest library in the world), blind-folded. So nowadays, surfing the web pretty much = googling. 

Contest

Trailblazers, a web browsing competition, challenges web surfers to surf their way from a website to a destination website without using Google (or any other search engine), and keyboards. So how are you going to surf? By using hyperlinks that are available on websites. For their inaugural contest, Trailblazers participants were challenged to browse their way from Amazon to Pirate Bay.
