One of the best suppliers for my blogs in my 'Electronic Design Journal' or 'EDJ,' is Stumble Upon (SU). Again, SU did not disappoint. However, I didn't use its features to find something to blog about. It is SU itself that is the focus of this blog.
SU is basically a 'not-so-random' website generator or finder. When you create an account with SU, you choose between hundreds of preferences or 'things you are interested in' or 'things that you like.' After doing that, you can Stumble. When you Stumble, SU will take you to a website that you may or may not have heard of that is based on something you told SU that you like. After checking out that website, you can 'like' or 'not like' that webpage. Through, 'likeing' and 'not liking' site after site, SU learns what you like and it will more easily find sites that it thinks that you will like.
This to me is the ultimate tool to a 'web browser' (as in someone who browses the web). SU will feed you site after site of which most I have never seen before. SU also may not simply just give you a site but it might be just a picture or a video from a site that you have seen or heard of but the pic or vid you may have not. Crazy.
