StumbleUpon

If you want to fill your head with interesting information, see beautiful pictures, review fun facts and dream about far-off places, this is the website for you.
Especially handy if you need to write your research proposal, and would rather spend time daydreaming and surfing the net, than actually studying, but your conscience doesn't let you do anything really "anti studying" like go out or watch a movie.
Also a great site for SEO, to promote your blog posts

Simply put, Stumbleupon has no sense of context. My selected interest of "comedy" was so broad I was getting everything from lame puns to dead baby jokes. What finally made me delete it was when I stumbled something called 'dark humor' that was mostly people making violent rape jokes and using the N word more times in a few pages than I'd seen in my whole life put together. A few minutes after that my interest in "video games" directed me to an article by a frothing-at-the-mouth neckbeard literally entitled "$#*! Diversity". Unless this is the sort of content you're interested in I'd give Stumbleupon a miss.

I couldnt imagine better site to have fun or spend your time not just watching memes, but to explore something good and interesting.
That's great that you dont have to spend hours in looking for appropriate site for yourself and can just randomly get interesting info on topics that you like.
You just press a button and get tons of different info. But these not just trash from thw whole but what you really want to see.
Use it if you havent used before.

This site is a scam. I recently received a phone number for my new business -- a brewpub. Googling that number sent me to Stumbleupon's site (they are very good at SEO). From there the first 7 out of 8 listings were for a locksmith nearby with a totally different number.

When I called that business, they claimed to have no idea how this happened. For giggles, I entered another phone number with the same prefix, reversing the first and last numbers of the remainder. Exactly the same result.

These clowns apparently squat on unused phone #s and thereby mislead people to websites they are not interested in. Very shady.

SU was once easy to use. It also proved to be informative, intelligent and truly one of the most interesting web site accessible to everyone.

When one logged in you were taken to the "Homepage", This place was the beginning of many wonderful discoveries.

No longer. SU has eliminated the homepage and provide instead a random site followed by another. Instead of selecting something that has a specific interest for you, you simply get what they give you. Maybe you have a general interest in the subject of the website but you have to read enough to know whether it is worthy. If not, you select forward or backward to view another random site.

No doubt this was done In an effort to increase revenue. Undestandable... to a degree

Users concerns have been ignored and continue to be.

Starting a pool on SU's demise.

StumbleUpon is OK. I agree with TN though. It's a complete mess and needs an improvement to the interface. The site also lacks speed and doesn't provide very accurate results. I find it annoying when I stumble, then about five minutes later I stumble upon the same site.

But StumbleUpon must be doing something right with over 1 billion Stumbles each month. What is even more interesting is that according to StatCounter, StumbleUpon made up 47.11 percent of all social traffic in the United States in July 2011.

I've always wondered how many viruses people have received from this site. It isn't like you're on Google where you can use Norton Safeweb, SiteJabber or WOT to check whether the site is safe. This is because you don't know what the next site is. I've had a few alerts from Norton when using this service - so please be careful. I recommend a computer scan after using their service.

Actually, I didn't really stumble upon Stumbleupon. It was recommended by a good friend who, like me, is an avid lifelong student who loves learning new things.

Stumbleupon has become my all-time favorite website because it is not only informational in all the different things I learn there, but it is also entertaining and inspiring.

Curated pages submitted by the site's members aptly called "Stumblers", SU has something for absolutely EVERYONE! There are many categories to 'subscribe' to, from Art to Home Business to Hobbies to just about anything a person can think of.

When you log on you can just let the site choose various topics for you or you can specifically choose a category you're interested at that moment. When viewing a page, you can give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down, helping SU learn your personal likes and dislikes. You can also make lists and share the pages with others with email or various social media sites. View a page and when you're ready to move on to another just click the "stumble' button.

Stumbleupon is a hard act to follow in MY book, and I have yet to come across any other website that I've liked quite as much.

A fantastic way to find websites, blogs, pictures that you would not otherwise find easily or, in my case, even imagine. You do needed to spend time setting up your interest categories, then Stumble, then adjust the categories. Option to Stumble just one category is great. Interface is ok and not slow with wifi. I find it fun on my iPhone but suspect it would be better on an iPad. Content is richer than Beyonce (design focus) or Flipboard (social media origins). Beware, this is an App for adults. There is little censorship: "Babes" will show you women in bikinis etc but also porn sites. If you have wifi and half an hour to kill, you will have fun and probably learn something.
