"StumbleUpon" a new way to discover
StumbleUpon is a personalized discovery engine...say what? It is a tool that helps you discover web sites that you care about. It does this first by you telling it what you are interested in and second by you rating what it finds for you . The more you stumble and rate the more accurate it gets. It chooses websites based on what other people rate as good all according to your interests. And of course like all good web 2.0 tools there are social aspects like sharing with other stumblers.
Although this could be considered more a distraction than something actually useful but you would have no idea of how many quality website resources from this service.
