It’s time to let serendipity guide the way you surf the web. Visit Stumble-Upon<\/a>, and expand your horizons. It’s a social search engine plugin that lets you find interesting websites according to categories that you set up. Each time you get to a site, you give it a thumbs up, or a thumbs down. If you don’t like a site, it’ll remember this, and will stop sending you sites of a similar kind. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The more sites you vote for, the more likely it is that you’ll receive sites you’ll enjoy. <\/p>\n

The great thing is that you can vote for ANY site, not just the ones it serves up for you. <\/p>\n

And it keeps a complete history of all of your stumbles, allowing you to find that site you loved but can’t recall properly. <\/p>\n

You can also tag sites and search for specific tags. <\/p>\n

Very powerful. Very joyous. And totally free. A huge thumbs up to Stumble-Upon from me. <\/p>\n
