StumbleUpon is a social bookmarking site that provides you with web surfing on steroids. It allows you to narrow sites you want to surf through by topic and interest, and it hands them to you, ready cooked, on a platter. You then have the choice of approving or disapproving each website. Your likes and dislikes allow StumbleUpon to present new sites to you in an even more tightly focused manner.
StumbleUpon delivers, fast, targeted results for Stumblers looking for interesting, relevant content, Content is delivered free of so many of the negative characteristics of the web that we have come to reluctantly tolerate over the years. Here are a number of reasons that StumbleUpon delivers and Google doesn't, and as a result we can enjoy hanging out on StumbleUpon for way too long:
1. No Popups. StumbleUpon is not the place for them. Nothing can make people hit the "thumbs down" button faster.
2. Slow sites that take forever to load. Who needs to wait, when you can stumble onto the next one?
3. Too much advertising? Not on StumbleUpon....An immediate Thumbs Down!
Even with the occasional dud, you can still uncover relevant, interesting sites on the topic of your choice quickly and with less Spam than in the wider web.
And unlike the web in general, on top of ease of use and sharing, your delivered content only gets better with each stumble! By using the little "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" icon to instantly rate what you're seeing, not only will you have an instant bookmark of the sites you do like (saved automatically in your "Favorites" folder) but you'll be teaching StumbleUpon to refine what it serves you even more tightly.
And even if you do allow yourself spend too much time surfing... it's way more fun with StumbleUpon's focused results!
