Week #10 - Browser Tools: StumbleUpon

After experimenting with StumbleUpon for the past few days I have decided that I really like it. I like that users only have to tag specific personal interests and then "chanel surf" the web by simply clicking on a button on the StumbleUpon tool bar. Upon doing so, you are randomly directed to specific websites which adhere to your lists of interests. The "thumbs up"/"thumbs down" feature is a handy way to indicate if you want to see the webpage again. I also like the social bookmarking aspect of StumbleUpon. Each user can keep track of the websites they like and can share it with other users.

When I have a bit more free time I will definitely go back to this site and delve a little deeper!
