Stumble Upon It - The Return of Surfing


When was the last time you surfed the web, looking for something new?

These days, it seems that when you go on the web you already know (in general) what you're looking for.

Just go to Google, type it in and in less then a few seconds, you've got about a billion responses.

But what do you do if you want to find new pages on the web at random? What if you want to really surf the web?

Join Stumble Upon.

Stumble Upon is a site that asks you to tell it what you like. From humor to technology, art to science, set the parameters and then start surfing.

The site gives you pages, based on your interests, and asks you whether you like the page or not. If you like it, the algorithm adjusts itself to show you more pages within that category and if you don't, pages that are similar are removed.

After about a week, I've stumbled upon some great sites. It's easy to register and great to get going.

Discover something new on the web - even when you're not searching for it.
