StumbleUpon takes web surfing to a new next level with its advanced technology and its large community of users. Whether you are looking for a video to while your time away or for some tips on photography you can find it in this site.

Doing this is easy. Just select your interest from a list of 500 topics ranging from music, movies health, and arts to technology and hit “start stumbling”. A website, which matches your specified interests, then pops up.

You can do a number of things with the site – add it to your favourite tabs and rate or choose not to rate it with a thumbs up or thumbs down.

You can also share your finds with friends via Facebook or Twitter, as well as find fellow Stumblers through Facebook or your email.

Stumblers can rate and review each other’s blogs and join interest groups, which are community forums for specific topics. You can post comments ala a discussion board in these groups and post links to websites that apply to the specific topic.

Another cool feature is the StumbleUpon toolbar for Firefox, Goggle Chrome, Internet Explore and Mozilla Application Suite. This enables you to enjoy the various features straight from your toolbar without going to the website.

All these innovative features have gained StumbleUpon a large following. At press time it has almost 9.5 million members.

Stumble on,
Naked Surfer
