vulcant Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 So, those who have no idea what stumbleupon is I'll give a little explanation. StumbleUpon is a site/firefox addon that generates random URLs that others have discovered and added to the StumbleUpon database under certain tags. So if you click the Stumble button on the addon bar you'll get any site under the tags you select when you sign up (you have to sign up to start stumbling, you can change tags later by using the site or the addon bar). Now to explain the basics of the toolbar. Red- This is the Stumble button. It will change your page to a new and random page. Green- This is the Thumbs up button. If you like the page, click this and it will do 2 things: Add that page to a Bookmark folder marked as Stumble Upon>*category*>"thumbs upped sites". LAst, it adds it to your favorites on your userpage on the stumbleupon site. Blue- The thumbs down button marks that site as disliked. That way you won't stumble upon it again There are other things about the toolbar you'll have to discover yourself so play around with it. Now here is the site for the addon download: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... on&cat=all Now that you have that down, or had it down prior, what are some of your favorites that you've Stumbled Upon?

IGoddessI Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Cool I'll check it out. Btw there is another section on here called "advertise your thing here" you may find that helpful too. The only thing I don't like about it is perhaps in the future I may change my mind or need that specific search and I'll never stumble across it again. Although you could choose to just never use the button. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

IGoddessI Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 So is this your creation? Something you're recommending? Helping a friend advertise? Depending on your reason, I can help you out quite a bit.

Jimmyw3000 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If I remember corectly, a friend of mine, Skull2109 created a thread "Jewels of the Internet" before the rollback. That got lost, but stumble upon was mentioned in on of the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteguy Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Goddess, StumbleUpon is not made by him (at least i think) it's one of those pieces of software that everyone knows about. My Last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGoddessI Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Well I don't know about it so clearly not everyone does. And besides, who cares who made it, I'm trying to help the guy out.

Depending on your reason, I can help you out quite a bit. I told you it was not, so there is no real reason to put it on the "advertise your thing here" thread. The "that everyone knows" bit was an exaggeration, calm down. : I'm not completely sure, but you make a new account when you download the addon on FF. It tracks your stuff and you can see it later or bookmark it or save it to your account so you can see it later. My Last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote that before you posted derrrrr :wall: Anyway, I still much prefer google. Google is a "search engine", where you find what you are looking for. StumbleUpon is a "discovery engine" where you find what you might like, but aren't looking for. They're wholly different; I use both.

This one made me laugh: "The Dutch in general prefer their french fries with mayonnaise." As I'm Dutch myself, this is so normal for me I can hardly believe it turns up on some kind of "lol at these weird laws/customs/etc."-site.
