I’ve been using a service called StumbleUpon for some time now, and to be honest, it’s one of the most useful web resources I’ve found for quite some time.
It’s a free web-browser extension which acts as an intelligent browsing tool for discovering and sharing web sites; basically when you sign up you select a load of categories which you’re interested in, and when you hit the Stumble! button in your web browser, it randomly selects a web page which someone else has suggested.
I find this tool really useful if I have a few minutes of downtime, or I need a 5-minute break between tasks. Often for me, it brings up a web design or development website, a light-hearted YouTube video, or a website concentrating on environmental technologies.
The other great thing is, being completely random, you never see the same site twice.
9 times out of 10, the site it brings up is useful, and I often bookmark it and refer to it later when I have more time. I’ve lost count of how many useful sites I’ve StumbledUpon!
Got to www.stumbleupon.com and get it downloaded!
