StumbleUpon

Here's where we start getting into the "presents under the tree on Christmas day" part of the blog.

StumbleUpon
is another one of those free tools that can really enhance your web browsing experience. It will change the way you find new websites. It will have you watching less television (although the alternative will not be getting back on the treadmill or doing anything that's actually productive). It can change the way you look at people, the internet, and the world as a whole.

I'm sure at this point, you're thinking that I'm exaggerating and normally I am. But I would bet you that most of the sites you're going to see on this blog will come from my personal stumbles using this tool. It will find new content for you from categories that you choose (from a huge list of interests) and feed you new pages everytime you push the button. You have the option to rate the sites, add your opinion, send to friends, among other things. Or just hit the button again and get something new. Content ranges from kid interests all the way through to the most extreme.

There are versions of StumbleUpon for both IE and Firefox, but I think its a lot easier to use with Firefox and its certainly easier to install. If you already have Firefox (which if you've read the last entry, I'm sure you do), then you can go HERE to get StumbleUpon.

Good stumbles!
