So, for the last couple weeks I've been stumbling around on http://www.stumbleupon.com. It is a firefox add-on that gives you a lot of genres of news and interesting things based on preferences. I don't know if there's that much of an algorithm involved, but I have come across a lot of cool stuff. I was wondering if anyone else uses it, or uses site finding like this?
After spending hours and hours stumbling, I've come across some cool sites, and from those, I've selected some I felt like sharing out of pure awesomeness or simply because I was intrigued. Some are old things, like the Virtuspehere, which I'd known about for a while, but others are relatively new or many might have missed their announcement. So, here's results of stumbling for me:
