StumbleUpon, a treat for web wanderers
Friday, July 25, 2008 by Amber
I’d like to introduce you to a featured segment of this blog highlighting some of the most useful, interesting and just plain cool sites shining in the ‘net’s dusty old corners like sugar pops at Honeydukes. Stay tuned -- these sweet little spots are some of my favorites. Now to our first tasty tidbit ...
Not all who wander are lost. StumbleUpon.com is a sheer delight for both ‘net newbies and pros who just want to amble aimlessly through Venetian-like alleys of the web.
Join its network, type in your interests and you’re whizzed off to a random site it has matched you up with. It’s a great way to discover places and dig into topics just for the fun of it. Trust me, this site is a fabulous time-waster if you are just looking to jump around but you’re tired of Googling wide topics.
This recommendation was brought to you by fellow byte-alicious reader Eliot – thanks for the sweet tip! Know a great site that I should visit? Send me a link and tell me why it’s cool and I may feature it in an upcoming post!
