StumbleUpon.com - You'll never be bored again

[Danielle Kushner]

Alright, so this happens to me all the time, where I'll refresh the usual myspace, twitter, facebook, etc. and nothing exciting is going on. So i'll read up on different blogs or whatever else, but still, the internet is just not sufficing my boredom.

However, there is now www.StumbleUpon.com which cures all boredom!

All you have to do is go to the website, and make an account. Then, they will give you a long list of interests such as Photography, History, Cooking, etc. Just check off what applies to you and you're pretty much done.

StumbleUpon puts a little bookmark at the top of your browser that says STUMBLE and everytime you click it, it takes you to a random site on the internet that it thinks you will enjoy - and it is so right 90% of the time.

Also, there are thumbs up and thumbs down buttons so you can let the site know if they are on the right track with your interests - and the thumbs up choices go in a folder you can go back to the next time you log in!

However, you do need the server FIREFOX for the toolbar, but don't fret, because you can also keep a tab open with the website and there is a "stumble" button there too once you're logged in.

Just so you can get a glimpse, here are some cool things I discovered while stumbling for literally, HOURS.

This one is called SCHOOL MEALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD:
