Stumbleupon

Jul 04, 2002

It will almost certainly be classed as spyware, but depending on their business ethics, the creators of Stumbleupon might have a good thing going. The idea is that you enter your interests and preferences and the Stmbleupon toolbar sends you to a random (but related) site. You then rate the site, allowing the toolbar to modify its preferences through experiences. This page gives you a link to download the application (click on the toolbar image), so if you're not comfortable with that, you may want to give this one a pass.
