stumbleupon.
go there. now. download the browser bar.
and brace yourself for yet another reason to waste time on the internet.
or is it really wasteful?
stumbleupon allows users to browse the internet specific to their own personal interests. this website provides a LONG list (complete with checkable boxes) of topics/interests/genres/themes/things that you can choose to narrow down your search. if after a day of stumbling, you decided that you're sick of cats (you wouldn't even believe how much cat stuff is on the internet), you can go back and uncheck that box!
and after making your interests known to the lovely people/machines/technology at stumbleupon...let the addiction begin.
with the click of a button ("Stumble!"), you're off! warning: this may end up being a few hours.
several (cough cough, carr) would argue that the internet is negatively impacting our generation, and generations to come. however, stumbleupon gives everyone with access to the internet, the opportunity to stimulate their mind, and perhaps discover new things about areas they're interested in...or not (hence, the thumb's down button). i've discovered things and places on the internet that i had no idea existed; nor would i have ever figured out without the help of this website.
a very minuscule selection of my stumbling results over the last few days:
sharpie decor
historic facebook
faraway places
buying things dressed as a bank robber!
SUPER COOL!
although this website is somewhat of an addiction and a vice, what i find on stumbleupon inspires me to travel. to be a better person. take pictures. cook. laugh. create. it never ceases to be intriguing, and sometimes, surprisingly educational. go see for yourself.
