StumbleUpon (Link)
I’ve been seeing this site pop up in advertisements here and there, and they are starting to generate huge buzz. I actually think I’ve seen this in a few places (iSquare) and even linking in to my site here (traffic I didnt even sign up for, awesome) – If you haven’t checked out this site, and are a web geek, web surfer, bored at work or whatever, you must check this out. This site installs a toolbar on your browser, and it guarentees no spam or spyware, etc. I’ve had it installed on my browser for over a day now and it has not brought up any sites with any sort of threats whatsoever. You check off topics of interest in the setting and on the toolbar you have a number of options. You click stumble! and you get taken to a web site that may or may not peak your interest. Don’t like the site? Click stumble again and quickly transport yourself to another site. If you like it, click “I like it” and StubleUpon will remember the sites you like and send you more and more to sites like these. You can get caught stumbling for hours, seriously, so beware. There have been some really cool sites that came up (including some t-shirt sites I may go back and purchase from) sites I’ve bookmarked and sites that you would never be able to find on Google or Yahoo since they went corporate. Check out StumbleUpon.com and download the toolbar (which hasn’t hindered my system at all one bit and can be accessed at any point) and get lost in the Net for hours.
