Channel surf the web with Stumble Upon and find sites that are relevant to you
Posted by Mysti under What isStumble Upon is a free toolbar that helps you find websites that are of interest to you. The Stumble Upon toolbar comes with a stumble button, which every time to click it will deliver a website to you which is based on your interests. These websites have been rated by other stumblers with your interests so you know the sites you visit will be relevant to you. Also as you look at websites you can rate them with either a thumbs up or thumbs down and over time this allows Stumble Upon to further learn the kind of sites you want to visit.
So what are the main benefits of using Stumble Upon?
- You only see pages that other like minded people have recommended.
- You’re likely to find things you never would have found using a search engine and having to hunt through the results.
- It’s easy to use.
- You can choose from 500 different topics so you only receive the most relevant results
The stumble upon tool bar can be used with both Firefox and Internet Explorer.
