Has anyone heard of stumbleupon? It's supposed to be like Digg. It's taking over my life though ?

I've been using it for a few weeks. It's similar to digg in that it's user-suggested content, but it isn't news-focused like digg is. Essentially, you install a small toolbar that lets you rate sites you visit with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Then, based on your preferences and those of others like you, StumbleUpon suggests new sites when you click "Stumble!"

I've found a few interesting sites but I have also had to weed through a ton of blogspam. Only 1 out of 3 pages SU sends me to isn't covered in Google Ads. But I'd still say it's worth checking out.

BTW, Google just launched a very similar feature as part of its Google Toolbar...

I love SU, definitely watch how much time you spend using it though

I've had it for a very long time. It's a great way to waste time.
