Ever since "Confused Student" suggested StumbleUpon to me, it has become harder and harder to stay away from my computer! Here are a few reasons why my addiction to StumbleUpon has grown over the past couple of weeks:
1) Through the StumbleUpon toolbar, I am led to so many new and interesting sites based on my categories of interest and my opinions of previous sites-- That's great in and of itself!
2) I can tag (or, in many cases, edit existing tags for) all of the sites I like. This feature has enabled me to create a sortable list of favorites that I can access from any computer.
3)If I go into my StumbleUpon account and click on other people's reviews of the websites I have saved as favorites, I am led to their accounts and can see what other sites they have liked in various categories.
4)No matter what work I am doing online, the StumbleUpon toolbar seems to be calling out, "Click me," "Click me," and who could resist? The best site ever might be the one that comes up next!!!
If there is a StumbleUpon addicts group, I may need to join. When used sparingly, though (and not to the exclusion of exercise and other responsibilities), it's quite the resource! :) Thanks for sending it my way, "Confused Student"!

I too find myself losing a lot of time stumbling. In the brief break between semesters, I am sure I will be spending a lot of time finding interesting (and maybe not so interesting) websites. I am astounded at the amount of information available out there on the Web.
Let me know any fun websites that you find. Factmonster.com was one of the more interesting that was brought to my attention.
I was just introduced to Factmonster.com through StumbleUpon too... Very cool site! I will look through other sites I have added to my account and will post a few of the most fun and most helpful this week. I also need to edit the tags to make them more specific so that I can actually find sites again within my pages of favorites when I need them!
Thanks again for introducing me to such a fascinating resource, even if it is addicting!!!
That would be great. I look forward to finding new websites to enjoy.
