stumbleupon.com


This site is a good site to use to pass time. I like to use it to find interesting sites. When you arrive at the homepage you select the categories that interest you. Once you enter an outside webpage is shown within stumbleupon. There is a button that says stumble upon, when you first get here the site tells you to press it to go to another page, which it does. The menu bar gives you options to share these pages. You can post on twitter and facebook as well. I tried to post an interesting page on facebook but it wouldn't load, so I gave up and posted it an alternate way. Also there is a drop down menu that gives you categories again. So if you decide you just want to view pages dedicated to animals you have that option. There is a sharethis menu to the right which is somewhat in the way because it stays in front of the categories menu. This annoying feature can be closed though. You can sign up or just browse. Its organized neat enough so I don't feel overwhelmed. There seems to be a lot of things to do on the site, and probably a lot of things I am not aware of. I feel that it is the type of site you figure out as you go with help from little reminders and suggestions such as an arrow pointing to the like button, asking you if you like the page it found or not.
