    Default Does anyone use StumbleUpon?

    I actually used StumbleUpon to find this site. Basically, StumbleUpon is an add-on you can install into your web browser (I use Firefox) and you check off your interests from a huge list and when you hit Stumble, it automatically takes you to a website that matches your interests. Then you can indicate whether you like the site or not, and it will tailor itself to your tastes. It has categories like Bargains/Coupons, Homemaking, Homeschooling, Food/Cooking, and tons more. I've been using it for about two months and I'm still finding awesome new sites to bookmark.

    Here's the link to the Firefox Add-on page: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/recommended/
    Just scroll down until you see StumbleUpon and install it.

    Here's the link to the Internet Explorer add-ons...I don't use it as a browser, so I don't know if StumbleUpon works the same on it (I would assume it does). http://www.ieaddons.com/Recommended.aspx
    Happy Stumbling!

    Sounds interesting. It doesn't put any secret spies on your computer does it?

    I just tried it and like it. I searched about 15 times and it actually hit about 4 that I had seen before or had saved in favorites. This may be what it takes to get DH involved with internet...ha...maybe this is a bad thing...

    I've been using it for awhile and really like it. you can set it to search for one particular topic or all of them. The only thing I would recommend is that if you have kids that use the computer unsupervised hide the toolbar so the catagories can't be changed to adult.
