    Good Points: Appeals to my Homer-like instinctive laziness.


    Bad Points: Nagging and far too intrusive for me personally.


    General comments: I came across stumbleupon by chance and quite liked the the idea that these cool folks would take the chance out of my surfing experience and give me only the good stuff.
    Vicarious serendipity maybe in my opinion.
    It would also take my laziness to another level altogether.
    So far etc.
    But, and it is of small country proportions, the site dominated my browser window by showing me what it would be like with its fancy must have toolbar as far as I am concerned and with every inadvertent mouse-over I was prompted to install it and register.
    Join us, join us, register, give us your email address.
    Not me.

    My wife was interested in trying stumble upon so she joined and then sent me an invitation. When I joined it looked at my contact list and had pre-checked a couple of email ID's. I unchecked all but my wife's and one other person whom I thought would be receptive to the whole thing. I clicked continue. The next day all these people I hardly knew and had no intention of inviting to look at my choice of web sites were emailing me asking me why I gave this site their email address. When I emai ...

    Yet another web 2.0 service, but this one really introduces a new way of browsing the information superhighway. Stumbleupon is a good toolbar.

    Updated review - September 9th 2005. Updated to prove that this is my review... I posted it here first and then in the Mozilla add-on assessment page. I am now being accused of plagiarising my own work - which is kind of difficult, no?

    StumbleUpon (www.stumbleupon.com): Choice and variety are the best aspects of the underlying idea is that you select topics that interest you. You then use the stumble button to visit related random websites, which are reviewed by other stumblers. You can either agree or disagree with their ratings and post your own comments; or you can simply move on to the next site/topic.

    Although the site is free for all to use, you can gain extra access by paying a small amount ($10 per year). It is com ...

    StumbleUpon is the most addictive thing I have found on the web in all my time of using it - even more additive than trying to hit a falling penguin with a club!

    Once you've downloaded the toolbar from their site you're ready to embark on leaving little footprints 'underneath' each and every website out there.

    It's a very simple idea, you either give a thumbs up or a thumbs down to each site you visit, with the option of leaving a little message to other stumbler's that erm... stumble upon ...
