Those were your choices. You don’t have to make those choices.

So why don’t you explain to FReepers what the link is, why you’re taking the time to post about it, so we can decide ahead of time, whether it would be a good idea to go.

Rightly so. I will not click it unless someone provides a very good reason. Pandora was a dupe of the gods.

Using a search engine leaves a trail of your net activity for the search site owners to use.

So are you trying not to tell us that stumbleupon is another type of WebCrawler browser?

What was the biggest thing BEFORE sliced bread? Sandwiches.

True. But it must have been 'flat bread' or fajitas, cause then you would roll your sandwich up in 'em.

The users can, in general, represent a more liberal slant, which would tend to make the results biased.

It’s better because it knows what you want from the Internet and you can tell it “I don’t want any more of this crap” an it obeys.

This is cutting edge on freerepublic.com

StumbleUpon
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

StumbleUpon is a web browser plugin that allows its users to discover and rate webpages, photos, videos, and news articles. These webpages are typically presented when the user -- known within the community as a Stumbler -- clicks the "Stumble!" button on the browser's toolbar. StumbleUpon chooses which new webpage to display based on the user's ratings of previous pages, ratings by his/her friends, and by the ratings of users with similar interests. i.e. it is a recommendation system which uses peer and social networking principles. There is also one-click blogging built in as well. Users can rate, or choose not to rate, any webpage with a thumbs up or thumbs down, and clicking the Stumble button resembles "channel-surfing" the web. Toolbar versions exist for Firefox, Mozilla Application Suite and Internet Explorer, but also works with some independent Mozilla-based browsers.

eBay acquired StumbleUpon in May of 2007 for $75,000,000 USD.
