New Obesessions for the week - Stumble Upon

Internet junkies everywhere, though I guess I'm not one if I just heard of this site now, can rejoice over a great website: www.stumbleupon.com. The site is great for people trying to waste a little time at work (note the time of this post, woops) or to those surfing aimlessly at 2 am waiting for reruns of Cheers to air.

How does it work? Simple. Sign up for free, click the types of things that interest you, load the browser tool bar and waala, you're ready to go. Looking for something funny to cheer you up? Click on a the humor tab and "Stumble." You'll be sent to a site that other stumblers found interesting, funny, stupid etc. You get the idea, its not rocket science.

After that, if you are surfing on your own you can rate a page as good or bad. Those ratings are fed into the database for other surfers like you. So, if you're bored or even if you're not, check it out. Maybe, if you are one of the 3 people other than my friends who have actually seen this blog, you'll Rate me with a 'Thumbs Up' and increase the traffic from 5 hits a day to 6.
