StumbleUpon

[MKR&*42]

Out of curiosity, does anyone/has anyone ever used StumbleUpon? It's been out since... 2001 I think, but a lot of the popularity has come about in the past few years.


StumbleUpon is a discovery engine (a form of web search engine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_search_engine)) that finds and recommends web content to its users. Its features allow users to discover and rate Web pages, photos, and videos that are personalized to their tastes and interests using peer-sourcing and social-networking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking) principles.

Basically, you enter a load of interests, click "Stumble" and it will take you to a random site concerning that interest. It can be a video/blog/image/general site/game etc. but it's tailored to your interests. You can click "Stumble" as many times as you wish and you can add sites to lists or/and rate them. I think I joined sometime last year after seeing it in a news article but I only regularly use it once a month... get quite hooked though (been on it for 2 hours straight aha).

I used to use it but then it started taking forever to load (like twenty minutes for one page) so I stopped :( It was great while I could use it. Agree about it being addictive though xP

I've never used it and can't see myself having a need to, but it does sound quite interesting.
