StumbleUpon

It looks like I have stumbled upon something new! lol... Anyway, StumbleUpon is a website that finds websites, pictures, videos, etc according to your preferences. It surprises you with things you may never have found otherwise... Below is a quick video of how it works:


I tried it out. It has led me to a lot of interesting websites and pictures pertaining to books! They are news articles, websites, etc...I like the entropy feature of it and it does bring some refreshing ideas into my head. The layout seems simple enough and every site that I liked is in my profile so that I can always go back and look at it. I couldn't find a way to embed my likes but I took a screenshot of how it looks like:



It's a nice, small preview/capture of the sites I went to and tags it under the preference I put it in so it's easy to browse through for whatever I'm looking for.

  1. What a great discovery tool. When you just can't find that right search term or can't quite name what you are looking for this site seems to be the perfect solution.

  2. Thanks for sharing this! It looks great and I'm definitely going to try it out. It appeals to me mostly as I'm so visual and I like to see images, not just text.
