Heads up! Coolest web surfing tool yet!

http://www.stumbleupon.com/

Lots of liberals... set your preferences and go stumbling across the internet recommending your favs to a really large community.

Highly recommended and I've been using it for three days now and will have to get some sleep soon. REALLY addictive.

No adware or spyware, works with Firefox and now explorer.

(please keep this kicked and try it... You'll thank me!)

1. I've been a "stumbler" for a while...it is the coolest!

It really is one of the best ways to discover some awesome web sites, in just about category of interest. My own site gets quite a few "stumbles" from there, too.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. That's how I found it...

I get more hits from Stumble than I do here at DU and Du is the only place I've really promoted my site.

What's your site addy?

[Atman]

4. In my sig line...Not Banned Yet

:hi:

5. Great site! Send me your logo and I'll put it in my links page if you'd

like me to. You'll be in good company.

15. You're linked and a thumbs up! n/t

2. Been using StumbleUpon for awhile now, it's highly addictive

6. Only want ONE tool bar- Google has search, spell check, auto fill, great

site icon buttons & an excellent, no pop-up --- all on one bar...Don't want or need another whole tool bar offering one single thing, an item Google doesnt YET offer!!! They will...

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

7. Totally different reason than the Google tool bar.

This is strictly surfing entertainment.

[LaPera]

8. But again, it would be adding another horizontal length tool bar to all

my already crowded screens, (work, notebook, home) isn't that correct?

[Atman]

9. It isn't "one single thing," really. And it's not a whole new tool bar.

Install it just for an evening or two...then try to uninstall it. If you can. You'll be hooked.

With Firefox, it just gets added to the toolbar, and you can customize how many features you want to add. It isn't a whole seperate tool bar. And besides just the "stumbling" aspect of it, some people actually get involved in the whole community aspect of it, and keep visual blogs of all their favorite stumbles. Don't poo-poo it until you've tried it. It is the only Firefox add-on I even bother with.

10. All-right, I'll give it a shot for a few days...hope I love it.

11. A quick right click on a toolbar will let you view it or hide it

Or just "Control-F11" to toggle the StumbleUpon toolbar.

12. One of my pages is in there somewhere

I can't remember where, or how to find it on purpose, though. Or if that's possible.

Ah hah! By using Google! In Google, I entered the search string

stumbleupon dvorkin

and found the page that had a link to a page on my site.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

20. Actually, I ran across it the other day.

I've been there before. Nice site!

14. Very cool.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

16. Oh, you poor person...

Prepare for lack of sleep. :evilgrin:

[IDemo]

17. FoxyTunes is a great extension too

A media player in your browser:

21. OK, I already love it...

I particularly like the way you can isolate one "interest" with a single click and get a lot of amazing sites in that one interest that you would never normally run across.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

23. Yup....

As said... It's addictive!

[alfredo]

24. I need to give it a try.

I think I tried it when it first hit the web, but didn't give it a chance.

[lonestarnot]

25. Going to check it out. Thanks TYJ!
