StumbleUpon

StumbleUpon

This is my latest obsession - a Firefox add-on that lets me do targeted surfing. You download the add-on, create an account that includes your preferred web topics, then use the handy toolbar to "stumble" around different sites that the service (and possibly another user) recommends. So far I've "discovered" Pandora, a slightly out-of-date but still cool page about URL obfuscation, and a flash face creator that I'm considering using in my computer classes with my 5th or 6th graders. Firefox add-ons seem to slow stuff down a bit, but they rock.
