Stumble Upon is addicting!
Edited on Tue Dec-25-07 08:47 PM by Webster Green
I can't stop stumbling!

I just discovered it a couple of weeks ago, and I have found so much cool stuff.

It's a Firefox extension that lets you choose areas of interest for your profile, then brings up a new website that relates to those interests every time you click the stumble upon button. It's great!

Surf's up!:P

1. Found it is a help when the news is so bad and your mood matches
Just index in your interests and stumble. Have found some great stuff that way.

2. Cool...
I use Firefox as a backup browser, though I have to use IE for work-related stuff. This sounds very cool and I'll check it out.

Thanks! :hi:

7. If you happen to be using IE for web design, there's a firefox plug-in..
for that as well. Lets you preview sites in IE. Actually, it is included in a web-development tool-bar that validates CSS and HTML etc, and has some other web-dev tools.

Firefox is pretty cool.

8. Thanks, but it's not like that.
I'm a medical transcriptionist, and the computer and proprietary software are provided by my employer. For the work program to function properly, the OS has to be Windows and the browser has to be IE.

Firefox is purely for personal browsing. :)
