What have you StumbleUpon ‘d?

May 31st, 2008

Not that StumbleUpon is new or anything, but I’ve recently been dabbling in visiting this website. It is definitely one of the cooler things on the web today.

What it is:
Well, it’s a social community built from what sites you like. Let me get more in depth.You make an account, and then install the toolbar (below). Then tell it what your interests are. When you hit the stumbleupon button in the toolbar it takes you to a site that it thinks you would like. There are also ways for telling if you like the site or not (the thumbs up and down buttons). It notices all the stuff you like and generates more and more pages that are relevant to what you like. So the more stuff you vote for, the more targeted the stumbles are to your liking.

There is also the social aspect, which allows you to add friends, view what they have liked, their favorites. And you can even blog on it.Overall, this is definitely an awesome concept and you should check it out.
