For a Little Fun

Source of the Day:

StumbleUpon.com - If you're anything like me, there have been times that you've been surfing the glories of the world wide web when suddenly that surfboard under your feet hits a big ol' rock wall. What do you look at? Or even FOR? Googling only gets you so far, and Bing may be a more precise search engine, but either one only ever gets you exactly what you search for.

Enter StumbleUpon. On your arrival you create a username and password and are given a very small tutorial of what this website is actually about: recommending other pages and websites according to your interests. You can "follow" certain topics of interest (poetry, writing, gadgets, video games, animation, space exploration, on and on and on), get connected with other related topics, friends, and other people with the same interests. All who share websites and recommend things to see, read, and watch videos about. You can save your favorites for later, and StumbleUpon starts to recommend things that might peak that surfboard into motion again.


Gawker.com - Along the same lines as Stumble, Gawker makes your life a little easier with easy to find links to other blogs and websites according to your interests! Merely visit the Latest Tab to find the newest categories of different common interest. If CraftGawker isn't your thing, try DwellingGawker for design, FoodGawker (a favorite of mine), WeddingGawker, or visit the Gawkerverse to see the latest entries on all categories they maintain, and a link to all the specific pages. Love this for craft ideas and recipes!
