StumbleUpon
The darkness is comforting; monitor cuts the darkness with a strong and contrast beam of light; last drop of coffee sits lonely at the bottom of the empty cup, and the strong hunger forces you to give up and stop working.
Students working on research papers, journalists writing articles, filmmakers editing trailers and many other people felt this urge to quit working on the task, simply because creativity left them for the day.
Mozilla Firefox developed an add-on specifically for this kind of situations. StumbleUpon is a great source of creativity on the internet. This add-on suggests web sites, videos and photos based on user’s preferences. Moreover it is very important that StumbleUpon does not direct one to a random website that is going to populate computer with viruses. The program lets people go through pages that have been stumbled upon by other users. People get to choose if specific website is worth going to and vote for or against it. This is a technique that is in a way similar to Amazon, which is famous for suggesting additional items.
A point against it is that oine needs to install an additional tool bar into the browser and not many people like it.
With several quick clicks I was able to find great web sites that were not showing up in any of the main search engines.
Try it!
Artem,
Love this site. I am always looking for an easier way to find the links in the subject matter that I want to find, instead of trying to hunt them down in the manner of a needle in a haystack, as the internet seems to have become.
I do not care if it adds another tool bar, am just excited to see what it brings!
