StumbleUpon
|
 |
StumbleUpon is a social bookmarking website where its users add links to webpages they like (along with comment descriptions and keyword tags). Users can also follow one another. Recommended webpages are provided to users based on their interests, pages they like, and who they follow. Users can also 'stumble' for pages. This involves randomly selected pages being displayed within StumbleUpon (underneath a StumbleUpon bar). Users can give a thumbs up to the stumbled pages they like (or a thumbs down to the pages they don't like). This affects the likelihoods of other pages being stumbled.
