Solution: StumbleUpon finds new sites based on your interests
Do you find that you have an insatiable ache to find something new and exciting in your Web surfing life? A longing, all-consuming thirst that a simple Google search just can't quench?
Well help might be at hand with StumbleUpon, an online service that helps you discover Websites based on your specific interests.
The concept behind StumbleUpon is pretty simple. You download a free toolbar that sits at the top of your browser and after creating account, you define what subjects you're interested in (e.g. books, television, Japanese animated cartoons, albino owls, bed sores....you get the idea).
Once StumbleUpon knows the kind of things you like, you simply click the "Stumble" button on the toolbar and it will send you to a Website, or picture, or video clip based on your defined interests. You can vote on whether you like StumbleUpon's recommendation or not, and it learns from this information to refine the sites it suggests.
It's a really great way of finding new Web content based around your interests and it also features a strong social component whereby you can add friends and share Stumbles with your network.
