I go on Stumbleupon a lot. I have been on it enough for it to learn what I like, now every time I click the stumble button, I find something awesome! It never fails to surprise me.

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've gotten thousands of hits promoting my own content on Statcounter. If you write interesting and engaging content you can submit it to Statcounter and get lots of hits. It works WAY better than crap like Reddit for shameless self promotion because the people that use Stumbleupon actually enjoy interesting content!

Only 4 stars though because the UI could use some work.

Stumbleupon is a really fun website that can help you discover many different interesting websites that relate to your specific interest. The website is very simple to use, all you do is click on your interest and hit stumble. The website then automatically tailors the websites that you get to your own interest. It is really useful when finding different videos and even recipes. When you create your stumbleupon the website asks you to share your interest and then it tailors what websites that are given to your interest. Some pro's to this website are the search bar and the favorite tag. The search bar is helpful for quick searches and the favorite tag allows you to search through your previously viewed webpages. A con is that this website occasionally recycles websites and videos that you have previously watched and that can be a bit repetitive. Overall I would recommend this site to others who are interested in finding some really cool websites and videos. But I would warn them that it can be addicting.

Interesting site that is definitely worth a look. The idea is that you tell stumbleupon what you like and it will scour the web and find sites it thinks you'll enjoy. Over time, as you like or dislike the sites that it shows you, it is supposed to "learn" what you like the most and continually refine what it shows you.

Definitely a great time waster and you may "stumbleupon" something interesting.

The site (once you are signed in, etc) turns into an unobtrusive bar at the top of your screen which you use to like/dislike or stumbleupon other sites.

REASONS TO USE:
[1] You're bored and want to explore the web
[2] You would like to enjoy only a certain type of site
[3] You want to join a community of others who share similar interests

REASONS TO LOSE:
[1] You prefer to browse on your own

This is one of my favorite websites to pass the time. I use it pretty much everyday. I love discovering new websites. I also love how you can customize the categories you like so you stumble on pages that are catered to your personal preferences. There are a lot of topics to choose from too.

My only gripe is once in a while it will bring me to a site that has nothing to do with any of my topic preferences. But hey, no one's perfect, right?

Also, I noticed that I get brought to a lot of pages with just one photo. I am assuming this is because of the photography category I checked off, which I love photography, but not just looking at some random photo on one random page with nothing else on it lol. Other than that, this is a really great site.

I love how you can follow people/have followers, browse or stumble through other users favorites, send messages, and review any website you want. I also have the SU toolbar installed on my browser. I love this. It's at the top of the browser under the menu bar, and has very convenient and useful buttons. The first one is a "Stumble" button. This is great because you can hit the button from ANY website you are on to start stumbling. You don't have to be on the SU website to start stumbling. There is also a pull down menu in the toolbar where you can stumble only a certain subject at that time if you choose. Also, there's a Like and Dislike button. With the Like button, you can click it on any website you want (again, doesn't have to be on the SU site) and the site will be added to your SU favorites. I go crazy with this button! Lol. Also there is a Dislike button, which helps SU cater more towards your preferences by weeding out the kind of websites you don't like. There is also a share button, to share to facebook and twitter, an Info button to see other SU users who Liked that page, a Favorites button, and Inbox to check your SU messages.
This is a website that will never go out of style because there will always be new websites to stumble through!

The overall idea isn't bad, you click on what your interested in and when you get on the site, it starts showing you sites that you might be interested it. The only thing that bugs me is it doesn't seem to know exactly what I like, somehow I get sites that tells me how to do knitting, where to buy a wheelchair etc... just weird stuff sometimes.
