What I Stumbled Upon

So, the other day a friend of mine was telling me about this website that his roommate is obsessed with called Stumbleupon.com . I had heard of it but I hadn't ever tried it out.
Well a few days ago, I tried it out and I am seriously addicted to it. The premise of the website is that you hit the "stumble" button and it takes you to a random website online. Doesn't sound really fun right? Well basically when you register on the website (it's free by the way) you download this toolbar onto your web browser that pops up once you log in, this way you can continue to hit the "stumble" button as many times as you want. When you register you pick certain areas of interest and based on those it finds these random websites for you. You can even "like" or "dislike" a website it finds for you, so this way it gets a better idea of the kind of things you are interested in. Once you "like" a website it saves it for you on your account so you can go to that list and revisit the site. I know right now this doesn't sound that fun, but I seriously sat for like 2 hours at work yesterday "stumbling" as I affectionately call it. My favorite is when it shows me a cute picture or quote, there are some really cool videos that it has shown me as well.

Anyways, my work here is done, go for yourself and try it out and please let me know that you love it just as much as I!!

Happy Stumbling
