If You’re Not Using StumbleUpon Yet, You’re Missing Out On a Lot

Today I am at home, alone. I’m bored out of my mind. There’s nothing on TV. I have nothing to research on the Internet. I just want to relax and be entertained. If I flip through channels on the TV long enough, I can usually find something, but I want something better. How about flipping through web pages on the Internet?

StumbleUpon takes you to web pages that you may not think to search for. You just give StumbleUpon a few things you like and it brings up pages based on your interest. My interests are ColecoVision, Atari and NES. I get tons of pages on classic video games to entertain me for hours. It’s not just junk either. Users can thumb up or thumb down items. The ones that get a thumbs up get displayed more often. The pages thumbed down enough get removed don’t get displayed as often. So you’re constantly gettings great pages based on your preferences.

Get an account and give it a try. I used my account for a few days and didn’t get it. Then one day I gave it another try and found it was the best thing I could do whenever I’m bored. As a note, you have to download a toolbar to use the system. You can’t just use the system through a web site. Most people shy away from installing toolbars. Don’t worry about that. It won’t send junky stuff or spyware your way.

Enjoy!
