A few days ago a friend sent me a report about his experiences with a site called Stumbleupon. I had heard of it before but never had the time to check it out, well am I glad I did! I am now addicted!Basically Stumbleupon is a social bookmarking site with a difference, you get a toolbar to install for Firefox or IE which has a Stumble button and a load of other options. When you join Stumbleupon you are asked to fill out a kind of questionnaire coving all the things you like, i.e. what sort of music, films etc..With this information Stumbleupon will supply you with random website it thinks you will be interested in which have been chosen by other Stumblers when you press the stumbleupon button in your browser. You can the press the thumbs up button if you like it, or the thumbs down if you don’t. All of these selections are added to your Stumbleupon page here is mine Stumbleupon. If you go to a site you like just press the thumbs up button and its added to your page.So I can here you saying well I can do that in my browser anyway… well yes you can but with Stumbleupon you can access your links anywhere and the random “Stumble” button is utterly mesmerizing, I’ve wasted hours, well I say wasted they were highly enjoyable journeys into areas of the web I’d never had thought of going with just my mind and Google.I highly recommend signing up and Stumbling upon some wicked websites
