Editor's review of StumbleUpon 2.4
5.0 stars
- "Make surfing fun again"
For such a small Firefox plug-in, StumbleUpon wears a lot of hats. Random Web site surfer, social networker, social bookmarker, site reviewer--it's a powerful little app for 170Kb.
Installing and removing it is just as simple as any other Firefox add-on, and we struck no snags when we used it with other plug-ins or programs. Once activated, one click is all it took to get going. The "Stumble!" logo that's part of the proprietary toolbar whips the user around the Net at the user's pace, based on categories selected during installation. Hundreds of topics are available and can be updated at will, with no selection limit.
Other StumbleUpon functions are just user-friendly. A click on the toolbar's "thumbs-up" and "thumbs-down" icons make ratings a cinch, and another click is all it takes to share sites, to update the friends list, to view the rated pages list, to read reviews of the page, to peruse the menu, or to search the StumbleUpon database.
Sometimes, "stumbling" would take us to a StumbleUpon page that reminded us to upload a profile image or some other annoying-but-trivial nonsense. Another "stumble" would whisk us to our next random Web page.
If Web surfing is the new channel surfing, then StumbleUpon should be your remote.

Version: StumbleUpon 2.4
Pros: the internet can get a little boring when you see the same sites all the time. Now there comes a little program called StumbleUpon. Its quite simple really. All you do is download it into your toolbar menu, set your filters and that's it. Every time you click the stumbleupon icon you get a random website that matches the criteria you have set out. I have been using it for 3 Months now and i am hooked. providing you specify what your interests are, you will only receive what you want to see. You can choose to hide adult content, and get the chance to rate the sites you do see. Its one of the best things on the net if you are always at a loss of what to look at next. try it. Its a free download and there are no viruses, adware, spyware or nasties in it. You get your own BlogSpace within it, and Other stumblers get to rate your content, and become your "Fans" .. However, you dont have to use it for that function, but simply to "Stumbleupon" pages that are fun and totally suited to you! Download it today! I love it!
Cons: You need Mozilla Firefox.. Which is by no means a bad thing.. Download that too, and your whole browsing experience will change!
