Stumble Upon

Stumble!

StumbleUpon is a social and communication add-on for Firefox. It allows you to select a range of topics of interest, then finds web sites based on what you like. You rate each site with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, and StumbleUpon learns your preferences. This is an example of "recommendation" software described by Marshall Kirkpatrick of ReadWriteWeb in the article I posted on April 6.

You can share newly discovered sites with others, post them to your Stumble blog, or add them to del.icio.us or other sharing sites.

Most of all, it's really fun!

Here's a link to the StumbleUpon home. My Stumble user-name is MinnLib -- add me as your friend!
