StumbleUpon

Andrew sent me a link from StumbleUpon a few weeks ago, andI finally got around to trying it out.

This is a plugin for IE and Firefox that lets you 'stumble' across web sites that might be of interest to you.

You provide a list of the categories you are interested in, and then it uses these to find sites that other people have rated highly. You also have the ability to rate every site you visit as good or bad to further improve the pages it offers.
Then whenever you feel like it you just hit the Stumble button and see what it gives you :)

It seems to have been going for a few years now and so there is quite a big community using it. This is a good sign as the nature of the tool means that without people rating sites it wouldn't work very well!

I've only just started trying this, and my first two pages were this archery game and this helpful list of Linux commands.
A pretty good start I reckon! !
