Get Rid of your Surfboard, a Lifevest will be More than Enough!

So get this...You no longer have to "surf" the net, now you can just tred in the shallow end of the kiddie wave pool *laughs*

So my friend in Afghanistan just informed me about a site that takes all of the randomness out of surfing the net. Ironically, it's called StumbleUpon. The user fills in some informaton about their personal interest and then the site actally finds sites/blogs/videoos/etc. that you will supposedly like. It will "learn what you like and make better recommendations." Did you hear that, the website knows what you like "better" than you know what you like!

Upon further exploration, I learned that the site is basically a DeL.icio.us for surfers. The site only reccomeneds sites that have been suggested by other like-minded users.

The whole thing is hillaraious to me. It's like a counter-intuitive oxymoron...LOL. I thought surfing the web designed to be an adventurous waste of time that sometimes allows you to stumble onto a pot of gold, but I guess the idea behind StumbleUpon is to help the user save time while wasting time???

Hmmm, sounds kinda silly, but the 2,302,816 Stumblers (including my friend-go check out her blog abou StumbleUpon) seem to thouroughly enjoy it...
