Stumble Upon

So a few days ago I found a pretty cool web app. I'm probably the last to know about it, but in case I'm not, it's called Stumble Upon. Basically, it tracks the types of websites you like based on information you've given it, as well as your browsing history.

Once you've downloaded the application, there is a button on your browser for it. When you click it, it just takes you to a site it thinks you'll like. Granted, it can be wrong. However, if you sit there and click the button a few times, you'll definitely come across something you like.

It's especially helpful when you're in your office trying to procrastinate. You can click it all day long and see some of the most useful or the most useless websites in cyberland. You can also rate the websites or store them in a cache that allows you to visit them or share them with others.

Like I said, perhaps this isn't new to you. For me it is, and I quite like it.

My friend Holly uses (and sometimes abuses) StumbleUpon. I get an email daily from her on the various things that the WWW has to offer. Some pretty fantastic stuff, some not so much. My favorite so far is the Douchiest Phone Message in history. Youtube it, then call me.
