Anyone here use Stumbleupon?


If you never used StumbleUpon.......It is an extension for both the Mozilla and Internet Explorer Browsers. It can be used as a useful searching tool on par with Google and users—“stumblers”--such as myself, tend to feel as though they have rediscovered the worldwide web. Stumble allows one to browse high-quality WebPages in specific content areas--topics that you like and specify. Furthermore, a member has his or her own personal page that can be used to post website reviews, keep a “photoblog”, and maintain a friend’s list. Finally, discussion groups exist where users can share webpages and discuss a vast array of topics. It also very easy to send webpages to e-mail addresses or other stumblers with this tool.

Download of the tool is free, though a small donation gives you some added benefits (though I'm not sure what they are--most members are free.)


From the founders, “StumbleUpon is an intelligent browsing tool for sharing and discovering great websites. As you click the Stumble! [Button of the toolbar], you'll get high-quality pages matched to your personal preferences. These pages have been explicitly recommended (rated I like it) by friends and other SU members with similar interests. Rating these sites shares them with your friends and peers – you will automatically 'stumble upon' each others favorites sites.”


My SU site is at http://dreadnought.stumbleupon.com. My SU page isn't that great...but there are some great ones and certainly more visually appealing ones.....one of my favs....http://nutmeg.stumbleupon.com

PS>There is an exotic pets category...it's under home/living.

There's also a Zoology Category under Sci/Tech.

Hopefully you and a couple of other members will give it a chance.

PS>Besides someone has to give the MKR website a stumble thumbs down.
