StumbleUpon is a browser add-on that allows members to visit user-submitted sites. A user can click "Stumble" in their browser, and they are sent to a site that another user has recommended. It is a great way to find new sites and a fun tool to use when you are bored.In addition to visiting a submitted page, StumbleUpon allows the user to give the page a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down." This tells StumbleUpon whether the user liked the site or not, and giving a site a thumbs down eliminates the user from ever finding that site again through "Stumbling." A thumbs up increases the chance that the user will Stumble on similar sites in the future.
StumbleUpon also offers users the ability to Stumble favorite sites of friends, images, videos, and news items. This specificity of Stumbing options is also a great feature included in the StumbleUpon browswer add-on.
StumbleUpon is not the most productive internet tool out there, but when boredom knocks on the door, it is a great way to find new sites for entertainment and hobbies. I would definitely recommend using StumbleUpon.
