Stumble Upon!
I have been “stumbling around” all day and I think (no, I know) I am getting addicted. I am new to Stumble Upon. I started my account last week and have slowly figured out how to use it. It is great fun once you figure it out.
Do you know what Stumble Upon is?
It is a network of users that tag website they “stumble upon” when they are out surfing the net. By clicking the “I like it!” button on the Stumble Upon tool bar in your browser (when you sign up you download the tool bar quickly and easily) you notify Stumble Upon about that website, blog, video or podcast. It is really quite simple. Stumble Upon keeps a list of all your “stumbles” and you can share them with other users.
There is also a “Stumble” button on the tool bar, if you are looking for something new out on the web you click the “Stumble!” button and a random website will appear based on the interests you clicked when you set up your account.
You can also join groups in the Stumble Upon community and view and share other users lists of “Stumbles”.
I spent and hour this morning clicking the “Stumble!” button and finding many interesting sites.
Here are a some of my stumbles …
Never been to Paris? This site gives you a panoramic view from the Eiffel tower. Really cool!
Draw on an Etch-a-Sketch. It feels like the real thing. I am not any better at drawing on this old time favorite than when I was a kid. I will have to practice.
Angeling Around a clock with an angel swinging from it. Click on the clock and the angel starts swinging with your mouse you can move the clock and the angel.
I love this guy’s sidewalk art, you’ve got to check it out.
You probably know I love to read and I am always looking for a good book. Here is a list of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.
If you would like to see my entire list of stumbles click on the Stumble Upon button in the far left menu. Go to Stumble Upon and start your own account, but I warn you, it is addicting!
Enjoy!
Stumble it!
